Just a heads up. Beautiful piece of asphalt between Springdale and Hunters called, unimaginatively, Springdale-Hunters Rd.

There is a farmer that has a field of sheep next to the road and about half the fence running along the road is not secure. Came through a few days ago and got surprised by a whole herd of sheep standing in the middle of the road just after a blind right. I got stopped (barely). No harm, no foul. But, BEWARE.

Heading East (Hunters to Springdale) it is 19 miles in. Heading West (Springdale to Hunters) it is 8 miles in.

Looking at the condition of the farm, equipment, animals, and the repairs already attempted, I would venture a guess it won't be secure for a while.

Expect fluffy white critters. :mw1:

Yeah, once you get stuck in a traffic jam with a bunch of sheep, it takes forever to get out of it (not to mention that the road also gets slippery...)

I was with 12 BMW's and a KTM. Didn't want to crash your pad with an unfamiliar "gang". Besides, we had sheep to deal with!

Dude... I don't know... I feel @Mellow is, and has been, a very compassionate dictator (the best kind). But bashing the BMW crowd? Everyone has their limits. (read that with the thought of a crowd chanting, "Ban him! Ban him! Ban him," in the background)
