We are assisting with a rumble strip study with MSU. This pioneering work is studying the relationship with rumble strips and non-motorized vehicles. It is fantastically important and can help shape the rumble/mumble strip standards throughout the country for decades to come.

Road engineers predominately focus on designs for vehicles. Understandably so. But roads are shared with more than just motor vehicles. And sometimes applications that work well for vehicles in a vacuum, cause much great risk and harm to both motorized and non-motorized travelers in reality.

ADIRONDACK SNOWSHOE FEST 2022 | February 26th and 27th 2022
Snowshoeing at Dewey Mountain Recreation Center and the Paul Smith’s College VIC offers two different, uniquely Adirondack experiences.

https://www.eventbee.com/v/adk-snowshoe-fest-2022 #/tickets

Dewey’s trails twist and turn up the gentle slopes of the mountain, which is a short drive from downtown, while the base lodge provides a cozy meeting space for toe warming and friend making. The VIC is an Adirondack sampler — you’ll pass through every ecosystem in our forests except high alpine tundra as you explore the extensive trail network. The wide, well-marked paths skirt ponds, dip through open forest, and cross wetlands on boardwalks.
You’ll love the scenery as much as the adventure!
Both venues will be offering a variety of snowshoe activities and experiences, as well as other winter outdoor activities for all ages. Whether you are new to snowshoeing or a veteran, join us for a weekend of winter outdoor fun!
In Saranac Lake, the excitement doesn’t end where the pavement begins. Book a room and put yourself in the heart of downtown, where you’ll have access to a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. We’re talking diners and fine dining; souvenirs, books, pickles, and games; and art galleries and live music, all tucked within a highly walkable downtown that's surrounded by lakes and mountains.
