Now on to the state name game. Be aware, I have only driven through only 9 of the 14 census designated places in New York named after other states (driven through Delaware (County), Florida, Maine, Maryland, (New) Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont(ville), and Texas) or with a similiar name or origin to other state names.

Alabama, NY.

Math of Gas Prices

|

I thought some Excel spreadsheets might be of use to you. Obviously, there is a lot besides the cost of gasoline in owning an automobile, but we as a society have a fixation on gas prices, and they seem to effect out behavior a lot.

The Cost to Drive calculator can help you with specific trips.

The cost per mile.

Cheney Pond

Cheney Pond Road is a dirt road off of Boreas Road, about 15 miles east of Newcomb. It is a rough road, with the pass year’s washouts, don’t try it without a truck. It will take you a rather pretty lake and damed up river you can paddle around.

Good morning from camp!

And now down as Cheney Pond…

Towards Sand Pond Mountain

If you want to spend the night, you can roadside camp at a site with a picnic table and outhouse, tent camp at an “informal” campsite with a fire pit near the lean-to or camp in the lean-to. None of the campsites at Vanderwhacker Wild Forest have “Camp Here Disks”.
