Sugar River above the Albany Dam

 It's a 2.24 mile upstream paddle to Rueben's Cave on the West Branch of the Sugar River.  I put in just above the dam at Albany and paddle upstream where early on I encountered a lot of sediment from years of holding back the river by the dam.  The first mile or so is an area where at one time a lake deep enough for recreational use but now the sediment has filled in the lake and there are places where you can't navigate even with a kayak.  Once I entered the flow of the river channel the depth the rest of the way to the cave was not an issue.  I saw Eagles, Seagulls, Robins, Blue Jays, Ducks (not sure type), and other water birds that sadly I have seen all my life but haven't taken the time to identify.  The stream to the cave was amazing.  As I wound my way upstream their were many trees down and you could just get by with a kayak.  In some places I noticed where a chainsaw was used to cut away larger trees.  The cave itself was pretty small.  I understand sometime in the recent past the City of Albany dynamited the cave to prevent access so what I saw was only the entrance.  The trip back was an easy paddle as the stream pushed me along nicely and all I had to do was steer my way around the fallen trees and the natural curves in the river.  On the way back I had some Woodford Reserve whiskey and a couple of beers which seemed to enhance my already wonderful state.  Near the end I drifted while listening to Kirsty McGee's newest album "The deafening sound of stars".  As light light approached I slowly drifted down the Sugar River and experienced such a calm and blissful state.
