The Icy Mohawk
Not that we’re going to see the ice jam on the Mohawk River this weekend…but maybe some of us will.

Schenectady Forest Preserve
The Schenectady County Forest Preserve is located in the Town of Duanesburg on Lake Road. This is a well-marked and easy to walk trail, leading to a large beaver pond. You can fish, cross country ski, and see the old foundation and walls of James Duane’s house. Now, the following pictures are clips of the trail. Right after I started in, a couple came by warning me to be careful. Why, you ask? Two small bear cubs just ran in moments before me, and... [Read More...]
