@DrFunker thanks bud

 

i looked at that on satellite earlier. Seems more like a trail than a road. But where that road meets potter mountain rd looks like an offroad course of some kind.

 

Yes sir. For what? Are you a vet too?

 

oh ok. I have been on that road. They are actual roads. Lots of swamps and farm pastures. I got onto those roads by taking miner road off route 7.

 

@skiergd011013 This is my next area to explore too.

 

Yes. That is the one. Have never been on it though.

 

Was maybe going to explore a bit today. You out someplace? @skiergd011013

 

i went down there with a friend several springs ago. I think some are dirt, but all wide open road. Very wet area, and the spring peepers were deafening!

 

been wanting to go out for food, but cant get off TW. I can run out for food now, and then follow you to that area if you want.

 

May take a while. Gotta change the zoo animal. He will be coming with me.

Where y'all going? @DrFunker @skiergd011013

 

Right oh.....Yes. No problem.

 

Exploring some roads in the county.

 

Checked out some roads this afternoon with @skiergd011013
Want to see if there was a way to get through the woods in the Taconic Range.
Found a few dead ends but one that seemed promising.

Sorry, no pics this trip.

- The exploration started yesterday on my way back from doing some trail work in the Pittsfield s.f.
Took Potter Mtn Rd. from Churchill Rd. in Lanesboro.
That ended in two gates that blocked the trail.

- Today we went to Silver Rd. off of Old Orebed Rd.
There was a couple spots under the power lines that looked passable, but we stuck to the dirt.
Silver led to a gate that was heavily signed for the "Pittsfield Sportsmen's Club".
Heard a gunshot. Read the signs. Got the shirt. See ya.
Headed over to Bailey Rd. from Silver Rd.

- Over to Hancock (route 43). What a booming little town (snickersnicker).
Got on to Potter Mtn. Rd. off of 43. Passed a beautiful old farm with a couple guys out drinking beers with the cows .
Wanted to take a couple pics, but feared that I may get shot.
Headed up the road to.....an open gate. Yay!
Went up and in as far as a switch back and a good turn around (about 2-2.5 miles in). Road kept going up and was quite open.
Ran out of time and had to turn around knowing that it wasn't a thru road. Will go back when I have more time to explore more.

Thanks for going out @skiergd011013

 

nice writeup. I did snap this at the open gate.

 

This is where we got to on the road before turning around.

you were nearly to the top. We should have another go. It looks like there is all kinds of fun stuff just ahead.
