Roads Less Traveled

 We took a drive one afternoon last week on some of the roads that veer off the main roads just to see where they end up.


Many peter out into Class VI roads that are basically snow mobile trails come winter and then closed March 1 to June 1 because of mud season.






We spotted this fence and gate and realized we'd found the Corbin Park boundary- an animal hunting preserve dating back to 1889. Here's a link in Wikipedia.  It has a strange history.


The fence we could spot through the trees as we drove didn't look too sturdy.




The colors remaining in the woods are from the oaks and the understory beech trees.




I think we passed one truck during our exploration but there were houses and farms along these quiet roads.
