There are several GPS programs which send people trying to visit us over a Class VI road that peters out and eventually ends in a field of boulders. A couple from Ireland with two kids got stuck there a few years ago.
Yes, in the Notheeast.
Same situation here.
Our year-round residence/cabin is on a rough dirt road that turns into a trail no better than a creek bed up the hill from us. Very steep, rocky and never plowed in winter or maintained in summer.
The Jeep Club uses it for their weekend outings. We have three 4WD GMC/Chevy trucks that I won’t even take up there...just not worth the risk.
One summer day we were astonished to see an 18-wheeler stop in front of the house, down hill. His brakes were
smoking so bad I thought they were on fire. Don’t know how they even stopped him at all.
The young driver said that’s the last time he’ll rely on his GPS when travelling the back roads. It took him 4 hours to creep 3 miles down our ‘road’.
And yes, this is also in the Northeast (upstate NY). People out west mistakenly think the Northeast is all paved roads and big cities. I must admit that I thought the same before we moved here from Eastern WA state 25 years ago.
