Alex will be back in the US in the middle of June. I could ask him if we could set up an NESR field trip if you guys are interested.

I just realized I stumbled upon part of that ghost town in NY last summer! Only the Roosevelt house, but the rest must be somewhere nearby. Lets get a ride out there this summer, I wanna see the rest of the town!
Just realized the house in my pics looks a little different that the ones on the site, but its definitely in the Adirondacks.....And Mark, see what you can do, that silo looks awesome!

hi-jacked the hell out of this thread, but on another note us VT'ers, and us displaced VT'ers currently in ID...sure are a like minded lot.
Mark, if Alex is ok with something along those lines, count me in. Seems to be some interest for sure.
Chiwawa....you were just a few miles south of the ghost town. Damn you were close. If you had continued north on 28 you'd come across a right hand turn, from there its :
Turn right onto Eaton Lane/Blue Ridge Rd/Boreas Rd/CR-2 for around a mile, and then left again onto CR-25/Tahawus Rd, following the signs to the High Peaks hiking trails.
Could easily check out Aiden Lair (pics you posted) then head north to Tahawus
Hell on the way to or from, or both, we could also crank up T****** and the like.
Interesting, the Tahawus town has a house boarded up that claims F.D.R. stayed at.
I'd definitely be in for a tour of the silo. Keep us updated!

Is anyone going to go for the tag, or am I going to need to call in some of the ADV guys to help us out?

If the bike is in the back of the truck, it counts by me.
Since its the only one he'll get this summer, so we might as well let him have at it. I'll help with putting the Duc in the back of the Truck!

Pre-Tag...thought I'd share my little front yard shock swap this morning before I went off on my jaunt to grab the Tag.
Picked up an Aragosta Shock (made in Belgium) on the ZXForums last year and finally got around to installing it.
Its smaller than stock, but has fantastic rebound, very sweet piece, got some more adjustment to do though.
Right

New Tag:
Hint: Up the Road from a great Ski Resort...Make sure to watch for traffic too when pulling onto/off the road, gets a little blind and narrow.

Start updating the Google Map, boys.
Old Tag:
(yes, I'm one pull-off away in parking, realized that when I checked but was too damn scared to risk pulling out onto that road an extra time.)
New tag coming soon, not enough daylight or energy left to get a good one on the way home today.
Oh, and is it fifty miles (straight line), or a fifty mile ride max between tags?
New tag:
Hint: the viewable portion of the text above the passage says "oln Gap." That should be enough.
