This one was kind of a tough one to get. Its located at a T section, where Fish House Rd. connects to South Shore Rd. in the village of Fish House. Very close to the Fulton/Saratoga county border. This one should be a Pic & Go but log it as you see fit. My approach was to get off of South Shore onto Fish House Rd and pull a Big Ol' U-turn and aim the van back towards the lake. The vibration from the car makes the pics a bit blurry so make sure the way is clear and get what you need and get back out. I would hit this one and then head down the road to my Shew's Hill and Northampton Cemetery waymarks. Depending on which way you're going I suppose. Well Have Fun & Happy WMin', Swizzle & Family
