You can get a downloadable, more detailed map with campsites, lean-tos, scenic vistas and trails.
Note: This list is sorted from North to South, and West to East in New York, therefore the farthest North Lean-To in NY State is in the Debar Mountain Wild Forest, and the farthest south one is in David A. Sarnoff Pine Barrens Preserve in Long Island. Location links take you to aerial photos of the Lean-Tos on the free ACME Mapper.

Bridge day down in West Virginia where they have that big party on the expressway bridge over the New River Gorge. Locally though the colors are good but already fading especially in the hills.
Partly sunny and 58 degrees at the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. โ There is a south breeze at 9 mph. ๐. The dew point is 45 degrees. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Thursday around 6 am. โ๏ธ
You know my reaction is basically where has the year gone. ๐ In many ways I want these turbulent years to come and go in my life, my investments and savings to grow so I can have my own land. I want the recession and inflation to be over, but at the same time things are going by too fast. โณ And I feel like I go less and less every day.
Out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center ๐ฒfor a while just to observe nature ๐ฟ๏ธ and get my steps ๐ฃ in for the day. I didn’t get an early start earlier as the morning was dark with a lot of fog. ๐ซ Colors are already fading, they were so nice when I was at Rennselearville State Forest that very cold and windy Columbus Day Weekend ๐ last week.
After I get home and have lunch ๐ going to shower ๐ฟ and head over to John Wolcott apartment in Colonie. I haven’t seen him since June and while he speaks few words at this point its good to visit while I still can. It’s a pretty good trip up there but I’ll combine it with an evening ๐ walk in the Pine Bush.
Well I hope the Easter bunny doesn’t freeze off you know what today. That wind and clouds just makes it feels cold. And I could be camping in this weather. Did I mention the Adirondacks might get a half foot of snow tomorrow? Mid April ๐.
Cloudy and cold around 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. ๐ซ๏ธ Breezy, ๏ธ16 mph breeze from the northwest ๐ฌ . Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. โ๏ธ
Easter is late this year but spring didn’t beat it. ๐ธ Of course hitting eighty degrees last week on the day I was busy with work didn’t help much. Good Friday was nice but I was tired ๐ด and didn’t get out to enjoy Five Rivers as much as I wanted.
Yesterday afternoon and evening absolutely poured ๐ง๏ธ so I never made it to the library ๐ as planned but the cans and bottles โ got recycled and I had a nice walk ๐ถ at Hollyhock. ๐ฆ It was cold damp and windy so not a lot of birds. Tossed in a fishing ๐ฃ line for a bit.
While I took tomorrow off, ๐ป having stayed in town this weekend I think I’ll just go into the office ๐ข downtown. Save the day for nicer weather, maybe in May.
Easter dinner with the folks this evening ๐ฒ and then I’m thinking of hiking Blodgett Hill this evening. Officially the trail is closed due to logging but there won’t be any logging on Easter ๐and it would be interesting to see what trees are being cut and if the state foresters are taking steps to minimize harm. I’m hoping to see them doing more mechanical removal to reduce the fuel load and be preparing for another controlled burn of the scrub oak pitch pine ecosystem up top.
Next weekend I have a family ๐ช gathering so I can’t head out of town but maybe the following weekend. Who knows after tomorrow their might be a ton of snow ๐จ up north although I can’t imagine it will last. I’m hoping that last weekend of April to get out of town. โบ

Only one more really cold day or so we tell ourselves. Things should moderate tomorrow with rain coming in.
Partly sunny and 16 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. ๐. The current wind chill is 3. Things will start to thaw out at around 2 pm. ๐ก๏ธ
Kind of cold and raw for the morning walk ๐ถ but it’s clear and the sun is rising. โ April is around the corner ๐ท so even a cold morning isn’t that cold. Red winged Black Birds don’t seem to mind the cold though. No mourning doves around though. ๐๏ธ
Yesterday was a busy day at work ๐ผ but I kept things moving as more things piled up in the queue. It was a cold day yesterday both for the evening walk and when I got home, though under the covers with the electric blanket and lights out at eight o’clock it was comfortable and I got a good night’s sleep ๐ด.
Riding the bus home last night, โช I passed a large event packing town hall. Getting home ๐ก I was reading on the Facebook it was a hearing about some large suburbanite development off of Elsmere Avenue heading out towards the Delmar bypass and Wally World. You know the type with the chemically treated lawns, poly vinyl chloride siding and colored televisions ๐บ. You think I would think it was a cause I would care about but not really. With such massive industrial solar and wind being built, the suburbanite developers are small fish ๐ .
I’m just more focused on making money ๐ต, and I’m busy and not really interested in politics and all that the time and money it takes to going to public hearings and protests. I don’t consider New York to be my home ๐ก, just a place to make some money before leaving for good. I’m well aware of the directions things are going. ๐ฒ Fighting development in the Pine Bush is a cause I’m into but for everything else I’m mostly just focused on the future ๐ฎ.
I was also reading ๐ an article on NPR about the increasingly radical climate change activists ๐ which want to site massive industrial solar and wind facilities without serious review of environmental impacts. Solar developers increasingly are ignoring impacts to endangered species, wetlands and prime farm land – and the toxic materials their panels and turbines are made out of. They feel like the climate benefits exceed all others. Maybe the one benefit is they are continuing to drive down the price of solar and supporting equipment – which will be good when I build my own homestead. ๐
Probably the good news ๐ฐ is that communities are increasingly speaking up against industrial renewable facilities โโ๐ปโ๐ผโ๐ฟ and some states are passing laws to rein in the abuses and scams of the renewable industry that threaten hundreds of square miles of forest and farm land. People are taking developers to court, fighting for their rights. โ I see renewable energy as the next big fight ๐ – they are in many ways like the highway developers of the 1960s and the nuclear power โ plants of the seventies. Renewable energy will create this generations Jane Jacobs fighting the power brokers.
Notes on the Re-Run for Tuesday, December 6th.
— Andy
Throughout Friday, freezing rain, sleet, and snow came down, covering the State Capitol and surrounding building with a layer of ice.
The ice weighted down trees and made everything look “wet”, but it did not pile up all fluffy like we think of snow being.
Here are the Heldeberg Mountains covered with ice and beauty.
The next morning walking through the woods, covered with ice and beauty at Cole Hill State Forest.
The swamp at Cole Hill was just shimmering in light.
While driving the pickup for a while got the ice melted off the doors, it kept freezing shut, and I had to keep cracking the ice off the doors.
Ice on a Pine Tree at Thatcher Park.
Branches covered with ice where so pretty.
Even when it was on the power lines and knocked out power to thousands.
