Och! The lure of the close, yet so very far because of terrain,
destination! We have a lot of those here. Grin.

Patrick, Your adventure recalls a Fourth of July that started with a
peaceful dawn Jeep ride from my friend's cabin in Spar City, CO for
breakfast at Lake City, CO where too much interest was piqued by a sign at
Lake San Cristobal proclaiming "Ouray 27 miles". Having our bikes with us

Many years ago I was near Salida, CO. Was intrigued that, what I would only
describe as a bad 4x4 road actually had a County road number. (Too long ago to
remember the number though.)

I find DeLorme Gazeteers problematic in that the road numbers often (very
often, for entire areas) do not match the physical designations on the road
in actuality. They also do not distinguish between 4x4 road and dirt road,
at least in their Colorado Gazetter. Their road lines for smaller roads
Thanks Garth, my go to maps are the DeLorme Gazeteers, I have quite a pile.
On those maps, the smallest roads often become trails, shown by a broken

There's nothing like actually being there !
We have roads all over the place here that are shown on various local paper
maps but do not exist. Online maps are all incorrect also. so much for

You re
Patrick,
That sounds fun. Even modern data can be a bit off. We once took a drive
in our low slung 2004 Audi S4 to our farm in the Missouri Ozarks. I set
the nearly new Garmin GPS to keep us off of the interstates and it surely
did that. It routed us on one road that dwindled to gravel and the
The road did not exist. Here's the response from the map company... not
very reassuring, but I'm not sure what might be more reassuring. Sardonic
grin. Rather reminds me of the first backbacking trip my wife and I took in
the San Juans. Trail vanished an hour in to the second day. That should

You post the most wonderful experiences.
