880 Chesterfield Road looks like some dude's house on Google Maps. Is the meeting spot just a field, side of the road, this guys place?


It's near houses. It's a nondescript dirt road with a tight entrance. Ernie usually puts a traffic cone or something at the end of it. It's on the side of a hill.

The address is always wonky. Use the GPS location - 42°21'06.1"N 72°46'31.3"W

Since you’re coming up from CT (my way), its a left turn into a dirt entrance just before a House, it’s after you pass the Shaw Rd junction when going west on Chesterfield Rd.

We meet at the landing where the marker is on the map below:

OK. When I was looking at the map I thought that dirt road had something to do with it. Thanks guys! See you in the morning.

How easy are the Green?
Stock capable with an experienced driver and great spotter?

How about my wife in her Subaru Outback?-)
She'd try it, she's that crazy, really!

Some spots can be challenging. Definitely not easy green, and definitely not Subaru friendly.

This is what I got from Eddie. I’m not sure if anyone got a pic of Ernie on one wheel on the big ledge.

I’d say dark blue to impossible. Depending on the line you take. Ernie tried a particular line (in the pic) he put some extra skinny pedal into it and ended up with 3 wheels in the air. I think the whole hill was quiet for a heartbeat. I don’t know how he didn’t roll. A lot of skill and even more luck probably.

Not to be tried without EVERYTHING protected.

A dark green rig can do the whole thing no problem. It’s everything from extreme to moderate.
