8 October 2013 Conawango to Cuba

The Conawango River is a beautiful river that runs from New York's southern tier into Warren County where it joins with the Allegheny River to continue south. To the north the river is a quiet place to paddle. This was near a cache by one of the entry points by the New York-Pennsylvania border.

I made a return visit to Seneca Oil Spring near Cuba, New York. This location was the first spot where petroleum was discovered in the US in 1827. Today there is a small fence around the spring which still seeps oil and bubbles methane gas.

The colors were intense today.
