On some of my routes I would see entrances and turn-offs and on maps I'd check out my routes and see all kinds of "roads" running through the mountains and read some rumors about different kinds of cool stuff up there like abandoned tunnels and ski resorts. I'd think about how cool it would be in my time off some day to explore this network of roads and trails on an adventure bike and see not only just what's up there, but if everything I see on the map is even actually there.
Today me and a buddy took his Jeep up there and I finally got to see some of it. Found overlooks that sneak up on the turnpike, "driveways" to houses so far in the middle of nowhere I couldn't imagine living in them, some wicked off-roading, and a lot more. Took a couple hours going through it and we only saw a fraction of everything I'd like to see eventually. The pics don't do it justice.
