DPT - 2.0 - You missed it.

I second that!!

 

Had a great time yesterday.

As far as uneventful trips home go. I think @Blais03 would agree I messed that one up lol. He fallowed me back, even through the dirt roads past the additional (not as old) cemeterys. But we never had to turn around, so dispite the girlfriends concern we were never "lost" and still got back before 9pm. I would call that a win.

 

As for future recommendations @DrFunker, it looks like the other end of the hoosic tunnel is in North Adams off of 8A. I believe we weren't too far off during our travels and know someone asked about the other end of the tunnel. I will try to get out that way to scope it out and see if there is anything worth stopping at the other tunnel entrance for/ If it's doable.

Also I know the Old Forge has great beer, but the lack of separate checks, and max of 3 forms of payment did prove to be a bit well espessaly for those who were unaware. Sorry I mentioned it to my table that theu dont do separate checks. And forgot to tell the table behind me. My bad guys I had no clue of 3 forms of payment accepted per table. I was talking to @Blais03 about other dining options in the area for next year. Is anyone else interested in that, or do we stick with old forge?

Just some of what I gathered for possable DPT 3.0 plaining.
Over all great trails, great people, and great rigs!​

 

I’m looking foreword to stealing everyone’s pictures today

 

Good to know. Maybe cook out in Tannery Falls lot? I know Nick mentioned that before and would be up for that route. Just no restrooms there. Wonder if we could have a couple port-a-pottys dropped in? hmmmm

Thanks for that map. When I get a chance I will get up there to check it. That would be cool. Also @Jcyr found out about another train area. Will have to research that some too.

 

Cookout for lunch would be killer. And how expensive are porta potty’s? But for dinner, I’d go with a different restaurant. Maybe one that will split checks. It’s not like we were 2 groups. There was like 10 different groups lol

 

There are a few other places right out of the Savoy area that we can check out.
Maybe even come down from the trails and then to a place with a picnic/restroom area. Will look into a few places. Has to be something.

 

Maybe even the golden eagle at the hair pin?

 

Yeah. That place looked crazy yesterday huh?

 

But if we had reservations it could be a different story

 

Thank you Rob!

 

Yes. True.

 

Im still going to get me some wings either way!

 

My kid did great at the Marching Band Championship, but I'm sad I missed this.

 

I wasn’t very impressed with the wings yesterday. Should have gotten boneless. The girlfriends are always right @Sr5_Tacoma

 

As promised. Picture flood.

I think most of the group is here, gathering at the start of the run.


Stop number one, creepy children's cemetery.






Right outside the walls to the children's cemetery.


Lunch stop, Cummington Creamery This was a great place for a good sandwich on the road.


Bush Cemetery


So many trucks


Another old overgrown cemetery in the woods




On to the next one...


Is she?


On to the Hoosac Tunnel (The Bloody Pit)














And on to dinner at Olde Forge


Great wings and an amazing beer selection. Make sure you know their policy on splitting a bill if you're there with a party bigger than 3 (hint, bring cash).

You know they were voted top in MA? I really like the traditional bone-in

 

Here's a bunch of the pictures I got, enjoy!

 

Awesome! Great Eammon. Thanks for sharing these!
