Hot dog or hamburger? Mustard or relish? So we ask - what do you think is the best way foods, condiments, and fuel for your BBQ to be a success. Take our polls after the jump.

We are very fortunate in the Albany area to be blessed with some amazing natural features and outdoor destinations. It is very sad to hear that the The Nature Conservancy has made the poor decision to close the falls on the Poestenkill to the public.

Memorial Day is the unofficial, but pretty much official start to summer. With that comes the start of camping season too. Camping is a great way to escape for a few days, it's family friendly, and it doesn't cost too much money either.

It’s hard to believe that it’s still winter. Spring officially starts on March 22, even though we’re expected to have temperatures in the 60s this week.

We talked to News 10's Steve Caporizzo this morning and he ALMOST uttered a 4 letter word, and it wasn't "rain".  How is that possible?  I don't know about you, but I'm not ready.  Not even close!  I miss summer, badly.  I was going through my old pictures last nite, in fact.  Let's reminisce, shall we?

I can’t believe that the unofficial end of summer, better known as Labor Day, is less than two weeks away. Hopefully you got to do everything you wanted to.
