Albert Community Forest(Town of Nassau, Rensselaer County)

Got out for a short walk at the Albert Community Forest in East Nassau on a pleasantly cool wintry morning.  Covered about 2 miles total, soaking in the solitude of quiet woods, as my kids napped at home with mom.  Kudos to Hudson Taconic Lands for all the work done at this property since my last visit.  Looks great!

Schodack Town Park(Town of Schodack, Rensselaer County)

Took my toddler out for a short winter hike this afternoon at the Schodack Town Park along the banks of the Moordener Kill.

There were several other people out enjoying the cool, but pleasant wintry conditions.  A fresh coating of snow made for very picturesque conditions.

My little guy tired out after about a mile so we headed back to the car, as some very light snow began to fall.
