I just spent a weekend in the area. Very nice roads. I went from Lexington area to Dan Ingalls Overlook via W Midland Trail, Goshen, and Rt 39. On my way back, I took a shortcut: instead of following Brattons Run (Rt 780) to W Midland Trail I turned left on Rt 630 in a place curiosuly called Little California. Very interesting ;-) |
