On the Eagle Trail: A hiker’s thanks
Written August 2nd, 2018 by Hasso Hering
[youtube video=”AwaGOLbQtb0″] Helen McGovern’s walking group took a hike down the Eagle Trail from Albany’s Takena Landing Park last week. Then she sent me a note: “Thanks to whoever cleaned up the trail. It was a pleasure to do the hike.” I went to see for myself, and she’s right. The trail is in great shape.

If you’re inclined to help a worthy cause, now would be a good time make a donation to Fish of Albany. This charity has been hampered by the reconstruction of Hill Street, which started in April and isn’t completely finished yet.
