Roxbury Mountain Road

[Yard Sale]

Haven't been up in a couple weeks. We usually make the run over the gap and will do so this Friday night if it is in shape. So I was wondering how Roxbury Mountain Road was holding up. It it a mud bog or is it still firm?

Thanks,

YS

I have not been over, but I just advised someone to take Exit 3 tomorrow. and go over the Bethel gap which is paved. There will undoubtedly be deep ruts and tomorrow night it will be in the low 20's, so they should be hard and deep. If I were in my SUV with a high suspension I would probably do it because I always do, but the safe answer if to do another route.

Bethel it is.

Thanks

The dirt roads everywhere are terrible now, not undrivable by any means but not recommended if there's an alternate, viable route...

As always good advice, Thanks Strat.

I drove over it today. I thought it was in terrible shape. Very wet and muddy on the flat portions. I was in 4WD part of the way up. I am coming back to the Valley Friday afternoon and I will not be using it. I also made the mistake of taking Lovers Lane in Northfield. This road is also a mess, and is heavily washboarded on the end near the Mobil station. Even in an SUV, it isn't worth the shortcut.

LL is always a mess - even when it hasn't rained in days/weeks. Must be the town trying to discourage its use as a shortcut.

I guess the beemer isn't the best choice? ; }
