The original planned route. As you will see on the next slide I was unable to probe a couple of these routes because of posted signs or gates, but while on the Cooper road I did pick up a jeep trail that ran through back to the Citico beach area.
1 The original planned route. As you will see on the next slide I was unable to probe a couple of these routes because of posted signs or gates, but while on the Cooper road I did pick up a jeep trail that ran through back to the Citico beach area.
I found may more offroad trails than I expected. The route that goes through the middle was a jeep trail all the way through with some pretty tough areas. I've found that it takes a combination of maps to case an area out before going in to determine the most interesting roads. I completely missed the cutoff that goes in the back way to Scona, but I doubt it was accessable anyway. Still, I plan to verify at a latter date.
