Just returned from our south WMNF Foliage run. The main statement is: Don't wait any longer to get out there! It's here and going fast!
I took a few new roads both going up and returning to add to the excitement of the journey. Much more info coming as I start to upload videos at:
Byways no...
I started this series on my YouTube channel last week as we ran into the North Country of NH in hopes of catching Pittsburg in full color. Honestly, we were 1 week late.. What we did get was a fantastic show Pittsburg south into Colebrook, Dixville Notch and further to Grafton Notch! Evans Notch...
Antrim has several in the area. I've only been a couple. Plan to head back that way the following week for the foliage and explore more.
Legend is: Orange = Class 6 Light Blue = Dirt Road Purple = uncertain
As I explore I change to: Dark Green as easy, Dark Blue as moderate, Black as...
Part 4 is now up for your enjoyment! This is Grafton Notch, up Rt16 to Wilson Mills, on Parmachenee Rd and routing of the top of the Dartmouth Grant.
Byways no Highways Foliage North pt4
Next upload tomorrow is up East branch dead river road, past Garfield Falls and up on Diamond Ridge (all dirt)!
This is Evans Notch on Rt 113 WMNF! This area, up through Grafton Notch, to Errol is loaded with color!
I'm still uploading video's and shortly I'll post the part of Parmachenee to Diamond Ridge (dirt portion).
Just returned from the North Country NH Foliage run. I was 1 week too late!!! Points leading in (by woods) and above Pittsburg are burnt through and most leaves are on the ground. Points just south of Pittsburg are in full swing!!! Grafton Notch in Maine is busting with color as well! Don't...
Just posted on the WMNF FB page. Rain or whatever, I'm up there tomorrow! We had to postpone a day.. we're out of here in the am!!
It's a happening folks!
Sorry to hear about your well! I'm still good here, thou others are not.
I do see the drought playing a major roll in this years foliage season. Main reason I'm heading out early! All my low cover is peaking right now! So I would assume most low areas would be as well.
Basic statement...
You may get more responses by noting an area of interest.. just sayin'.. Many of the overlooks (vista) sites in New England are 4x4 to get to. Some require extensive mods. For car camping.. few that are not commercial CG's.
Far from a pro at video, so keep that in mind.. I am expecting some good color in the area I'm heading for. Pittsburg NH has changed so much over the years, yet what I'm starting to see is a return to what it used to be. Thats good for what we wish to see!
I found an interesting route that I...
I'm headed back up to Pittsburg NH on Tuesday to see just how the foliage is really doing. It's claimed at 30%.. I'll do my run from Errol into Pittsburg by dirt. If you wish to see the route, it's on my FB page as a playlist "into Pittsburg". There is another route I wish to explore that runs...
Would love to hear where you tuck into near Quoddy or Arcadia. On both those I had to overnight at Chez-Walmart... I didn't know my Gaia program then like I do now or I would have explored out a bit more for a place. Actually tried to talk the folks working Quoddy to let me stay right there.. No...
If your coming into Mt Washington from the west I would pass through Jefferson Notch and use Dolly Copp Rd to cut over to Mt Washington. Use Base Rd out of Faybian to get to the Jefferson Notch Road over to Rt2 and then onto Dolly Copp. Both being dirt roads and easily run. Don't bother with Mt...
I seriously can not post a picture of any detail better than this to give you folks a clue of the Class 6 NH Map I've put together. I'm looking for folks to rate routes and compile info for us all. Cost is participation in the project.
PM me if interested. I'm building another file of Dirt...
I'm still working through the list of Class 6 roads in NH. I'm now 1/2 way into the mapping. 800+ miles, consisting of 600+ roads. Ya.. half way!
The deal here is very simple. Help build the map, you get back as much as you contribute. Have routes/tracks, swap for the same in your area of...
I'm trying to get multi-day runs together that doesn't include any tar. Not so easy to do! The best I can do so far is 80-85% dirt, as in road, woods road and class 6. Lastest attempt is my New Boston NH to Washington NH.
Short of heading into Maine, that may just be as good as it gets...
Gaia finally decided to share!!! Guess my WiFi is just slow today.. Here's the map for ya'll.
I only ran to Antrim for gas and a porcelain break, but did manage to get on dirt fairly quickly back to our route. I drove 4 class 6 runs and opt'ed out on nearly as many, you can see the stub lines...
