October 2005 - Adirondacks Trip

In October 2005, I did a brief explore trip in the Adirondacks.  I pretty much took NY 22, NY 9N, and NY 8 to the Riparius bridge and back to Albany via I-87.  My entire flickr set from the trip can be found here . NY 22: North of Whitehall, NY 22 does offer some scenic views.  I pulled over along the shoulder near an open field to capture some nice views. NY 8: From Route 9N to Interstate 87, NY 8 is a fairly scenic drive with a number of turnouts for a variety of scenic vistas.  The top two photos are of North Pond. Riparius Bridge: The highlight of the journey was the then recently new Riparius Bridge that carries Route 8 over the Hudson River.  The bridge was barely two years old when I took these photos.  I had wanted to come back to this spot since my trip earlier that April with Chris and Doug.  I wasn't able to take photos of the bridge because my camera died and I ran over the curb and got a flat tire. ...

New York State Route 22 Truncated?

Based on recent personal observations, it appears that NY 22's north end has been moved from the Quebec border at QC 219 and is now at US 11 in Mooers (pronounced "Moores"). Any remnants of NYSDOT signage has been removed between US 11 and QC 219, except for a bold button copy sign that greets you southbound just before the U.S. Customs station. There is also end signage on NY 22 northbound at US 11, I am told. However, there is nothing that shows this on the NYSDOT website. If anyone has more evidence of this, please respond.
