The New Hotness

  • Dutchess Rail Trail: Access Gate Control

    Five different agencies can drive through the Dutchess Rail Trail’s Overocker Rd trailhead vehicle gate:

    Dutchess Rail Trail - Overocker Rd ruts
    Dutchess Rail Trail – Overocker Rd ruts

    Well, four of them can, because whoever snapped the barely visible small lock around the long-shackle lock (horizontal, to the right) is SOL:

    Dutchess Rail Trail - Vehicle Gate Locks at Overocker Rd
    Dutchess Rail Trail – Vehicle Gate Locks at Overocker Rd

    Perhaps they’re from the DC W&WWA?

    The last time we rode past the Diddel Rd trailhead, there were zero locks on the (unchained) vehicle gate; evidently somebody forgot to relock the gate on the way out.
