Hamilton County Stream locations

I'm looking for a couple streams in Hamilton county. PM me and I will tell you the names. I have looked at the maps and just can't find them. I don't like putting stream names on when I can help it. I found the names in a old book.

Thanks,

A good portion of NY state, and all of the Adirondacks fall into this classification per their assessment.

Canoe seat problem.

We had new seats put in our canoe but there is a problem in that they are too narrow and you often find yourself sitting on the wooden bar, which is a pain in the butt. We plan on changing the seats but aren't sure with what.



I have uploaded a picture of our boat's bow seat along with several screen shots of other types of seats. Our boat is the first image. If you have any observations or suggestions please share them.
Thanks!

1912 Rock?

While hiking the Sand Lake Falls trail last summer, I came across a small sign reading "1912 Rock" next to a large rock just north of the trail. This was approximately 1.8 miles east from Mill Brook. Picture is attached. Google searches came up with nothing. The only thing I can think of is that this area was surveyed in 1912 for the McKeever topographic map. Perhaps this rock was a reference point foe part of the survey? Does anyone have any information on this?

Looking for info about the history of G Lake

I went camping this weekend at G Lake and found a few interesting things while paddling, fishing and exploring. It appeared that at some point there were several structures on and around the lake, as we found the foundations of a few scattered near our campsite and the surrounding area. I have included an album of pictures that show anything we found and was hoping that someone out there had some information on this history of this place and what these were? I tried a bit of googling and did not find much.

Zoar Valley - Western New York

Zoar Valley, a 3,000+ acre natural wonderland on the border of Erie & Cattaraugus Counties, features one of Western New York's most spectacular gorges. While not quite as popular as the Niagara Gorge or Genesee Gorge, the Cattaraugus Gorge that splits the Zoar Valley M.U.A. is a popular regional destination that attracts hikers, climbers, whitewater rafters, fishermen, wildlife observers, and nudists.

Unfortunately, several people have fallen to their deaths here over the years. The towering cliffs on both sides of the Cattaraugus River are no joke and will kill or seriously injure you if you are not careful. Only attempt to scale them if you know what the hell you are doing, lest you become the next victim.

I have visited Zoar in all four seasons and have enjoyed my experience every time. Some past photos from each season: Winter | Spring | Summer | Fall

This morning's outing was easily my favorite. To my pleasant surprise, I had the entire place to myself for over three hours. It was just me and several bird species including a bald eagle that I observed and photographed. It was a gorgeous day with mild temperatures and ample sunlight. My only complaint is that some views were very difficult to photograph due to the sun's angle at the time. Nevertheless, this was my favorite photo shoot since I visited the Adirondacks last fall.

Here are some of my favorite scenes from today. More photos can be seen on my photoblog that's linked below this post.
