It cooled down and I came back home. 🏚️ I guess you can't escape to the woods forever, at least prior to retirement. 🌲 Despite the deer flies, 🪰 it was a nice weekend with lots of time floating down the East Canada Creek. ⭕️ And I'm feeling less sunburnt all of the time now.

Beaver Kill in Albany

Today if you went Downtown you would be hard pressed to find much of the Beaver Kill or Beaver Creek. Most of it is buried in the Big C Pipe, although they are proposing to daylight part of it in Lincoln Park during the coming years. Probably the best place to see it would be in what is now Washington Park Lake.

A more accessible river front?

People often dream of a more accessible waterfront in Albany, but the truth is even in the 40s and 50s, there wasn't a lot of access to the river as this 1952 aerial photo shows.
