  1. For anyone not familiar with Santanoni and how the state acquired it, there is a large great camp on the property that the former owners essentially abandoned after a young child became lost in the woods and was never found.

    It’s not too much of a stretch to think this could happen again with the current state of trails here. There are clear markers at trail junctions to interesting spots but 20 yards beyond the intersections the trail all but disappears into very dense forest.

  2. Did a quick overnight trip to Fish Rock at the Santanoni preserve in the #Adirondacks. It’s been 20 years since I was last here. Still magnificent but unfortunately the trail crew has not visited in decades either.

    DEC should either maintain the trail or remove the signs. Should anyone lacking in navigation skills try this trail they are likely to end up very lost in very dense woods.

    *there is boat access to the site so likely they simply don’t care about the trail(s) Yes, budgets too.

  8. #A2A - Connecting lands and people across the #Algonquin to #Adirondacks region

    "For a resilient, ecologically connected #A2ARegion that sustains a full range of native #wildlife and enhances people’s quality of life for generations to come.

    The time to reconnect is now.

    Nature cannot survive on isolated islands. Between #AlgonquinPark and the Adirondacks, a crisis of fragmentation is unfolding.

    Roads, development, and borders have severed ancient migratory pathways, trapping wildlife in habitat pockets too small to sustain genetic diversity, find food, or adapt to a rapidly changing climate. When we isolate nature, we weaken the very systems that sustain us.

    The A2A region is a continental lifeline. As one of the last remaining large-scale, #IntactForest and #wetland linkages in #EasternNorthAmerica, this corridor represents our best opportunity to ensure wildlife can move north–south across the #GreatLakes#SaintLawrence system.

    Our mission is to heal and reconnect these landscapes. We must repair these broken links to restore the interconnected web of biodiversity that sustains the health of our region and the resilience of the entire continent."

  11. Gravel road perfection. The groads of Rensselaer County NY are phenomenal. Mostly low traffic class 1 gravel through rural areas dotted with farms. The terrain isn't too steep but you will get some short 20% climbs. It's punchy to say the least.

  12. "We opted to do a much less invovled weekend, basically just a bike camping trip vs a bikepacking trip. Sleeping outside, having a campfire, and just being away from the world is good enough sometimes."

  15. It's disappointing that there's no ice on the lake yet and the snow we got has mostly melted, but whatever. We make our own fun.

  16. Got out on my paddleboard while the stars were still out and saw the first light of day from the lake.

  17. And that Mirror Lake ice is definitively out for the year! Screengrab below from the Ausable River Association camera livestream just now. ausableriver.org/watershed/lak

    We went from pretty complete ice cover on Tuesday to wet around the edges on Wednesday to patchy partial ice Thursday to no ice today. #Spring has come to the #Adirondacks and #LakeChamplainBasin.
