Nice area. Just ride to the end the misnamed road that actually takes you to the bottom of the sky

You'll eventually come to this rusty old boiler (note the the bike is actually pointing "out" as I turned around a little past the boiler- where the logs are in the very last picture). And sort of next to the boiler is a headlight reflector covering one end of a rusty cylinder. It's in the lower right/center of the picture

Remove the reflector and you'll see a can

Remove the can and you'll see a duck

Very last picture (again, bike is pointing "out")

The green soup for St. Patty's day (mushroom bisque...delicious!) at the Pottersville Country store:

Sorry I missed you, Doc, that was a nice location.
I wondered about going further down, but it was pretty soft down
where the logs were, and I'm not doing that on my own.

This is what the beginning of the road looked like last October and today:

If you're celebrating St. Patrick's Day, I expect you to celebrate St Andrew's Day too with
a bowl of cullen skink and a mince pie

This one's a lot less out of the way, and has some interesting history,
but you might need to do an apprenticeship to work at the neighbouring attraction.

The road runs North West to South East. At the NW end:

The duck is in a cemetery...:

...under a log behind a grave:

If you continue along the road to the SW you will be warned:

Here is the SW end of the road, looking back the way we came:

Sorry. I went back and deleted the offensive photo...

Nice afternoon for a high-speed dirt ride, no?

KL_ARRR · 03-20-2013, 03:28 PM

Quack!

Fun road, although the adventure piggy isn't quite as fast as those orange beasts

KL_ARRR · 03-20-2013, 03:55 PM

You might have to climb to the Top of a Tree to find this next road.

The duck is in a fence post behind the bike in the next shot.

Bike hasn't moved.

jimmr · 03-20-2013, 05:14 PM

Yes indeedy

.

Cowperthwaite Road goes right through the Trump National Golf Course,
lots of good roads around there for the bike to take a nap on

.
A little bit of history too, makes a change from the usual rusty, discarded
object.
