In Search Of (Part 2)...

... Elephant, Azorian Driveway, and Alan's Ave.


  • Place: Big River
  • Trailhead: New London Turnpike near Gun Club Entrance
  • Riders: OMMB
  • Miles: 7
  • Weather: clear 
  • Temp: 55-60
  • Trail Conditions: perfect
  • Technical Level: Intermediate 
  • GPS Track: Not posted out of respect for the land owner

Notes: Yep...finally found the rest of the hidden trails (at least the one's I know about!).  Searching for these trails with very little details was fun, and the real fun came when I found them. NICE area! Lots of variety and challenges. The high point, literally, of this ride was when I found the well stocked "Candy Mailbox" at the top of an awesome overlook...Adirondack chairs and all!  I actually thought I had passed out and woke up in Maine somewhere.  The very generous owner of this land, Alan, stocks the mailbox with candy and dog biscuits.  He owns this overlook of Big River that can't be matched, and the fact that he shares this with us riders is very admirable.

Baby Elephant

Not quite sure what this is all about.

THANK YOU ALAN!



Happy Trails,
OMMB
