New York Boxes?

From: bacemom120 (barbara.brush@snet.net) | Date: 2004-08-17 16:41:30 UTC
We're going on our annual Labor Day weekend trip to a dude ranch in
New York. It's in Warrensburg, NY on Sherman Lake. These are the
directions we travel:
"New York State Thruway exit 24 at Albany. Then Interstate 87
(Northway) to exit 24."

Does anyone know of some boxes either on the way or in the area? We
pass by all of the exits to the Lake George area. Thanks in advance.
It's hard to look on the website when I don't even know what county
to look in. :o)

Warrensburg is apparently in Warren Co. NY. I found this by using Google.
all the counties so you can see what is nearby.

I LOVE planning boxing expeditions to new areas--be sure to check out
neighboring counties as well. I usually start with the county maps
(www.quickfacts.census.org) and mapquest. There is something so rewarding
about "finding" the location of boxes this way for me.

Enjoy your vacation!

Using the LBNA map, click on northern NY State and you will see a big
list. I know something about the Putnam Pond one (Ticonderoga), and
there are several others in Essex county as well. Looks like you
should have some fun, and those are great locations, not all that far
from Warrensburg. I see there are also some near Saratoga Springs and
Glans Falls, on your way up.

P.S. Hope you plant one near Warrensburg!
