Riding the Adirondacks



Once I made it back down to the gate I went just a little further back down but made a left onto Gillespie Dr. as I wanted some time on smaller roads.

I took Gillespie Dr. to Franklin Falls Rd. into Franklin Falls and then headed north on Rock St. into Alder Brook. These choices of roads had little to do with my ultimate destination for the day, it was just a chance to get on some roads that required some zooming in from Google maps. It was no disappointment either as these roads were fairly remote leaving me alone to ride at my own pace as the roads carved through deep woods. Occasionally I’d see a mailbox with a driveway leading deep into the woods and I wondered if anyone could get any further away than that without being completely cut off from the rest of the world.

In Alder Brook I made a right onto Alderbrook Rd. and into Union City. Union City had a little dam you’d pass by on a small bridge and something I have no idea what it was. If anyone knows what it is, please let me know. This unknown structure was just the beginning of what was to become the Twilight Zone for me.

Above the dam you can still see Whiteface Mountain in the distance.
