I don’t know if any places in particular, but state forest roads are unpaved. I wouldn’t really call them rugged.
Part of me wonders why people buy Jeeps and other off road capable vehicles, and then have to go out of there way to find a place to use them. Like the caravan of side by sides that are towed to my county each weekend because the owners live on .5 acres in a housing plan somewhere. Is it a status thing?

Like I understand that people have to have water, and in many settings, you have a city that pulls water out of a drainage, and then is adding treated wastewater back into the system a bit further down.
In the case of NY, all their water is pulled from high up in the Delaware river basin and is discharged into the Atlantic, never returning any treated wastewater back to the Delaware. This as a result, since the lower Delaware is tidal, is pushing the salt line further and further up river every year.

800 million gallons of water a day is diverted from the Delaware river and sent to NYC to feed their aqueducts and reservoirs.

It’s a good start, now if we can get NYC to stop pilfering millions of gallons out of it.

You were given a route number, and then later on a box number. So you would be Joe Blow RD 2 Box 1234 Mansfield PA 16933

R.D. Was an address system before 911 and emergency services wanted every place to have a physical address.
R.D. Stood for rural delivery, then it was changed to R.R. For Rural Route.
I can remember RFD, rural free delivery.

I was ice fishing lake George this spring and the Amtrak Adirondack wasn’t running.
Their website says they’ve resumed service, but it looks to be extremely limited. The stations from Ticonderoga up to Plattsburgh as essentially phone booths.

We don’t have many hotels in the dark sky part of the state, the only thing I think you could be referring to is the rough cut lodge?

That’s the former Hickory School in Endeavor, PA.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Odd request. Looking for public side roads for jeep driving. by AgentNose
It just seems odd that someone would purchase something, that requires driving hours to use and enjoy. Why own ATVs when your place of residence has a prohibition on riding them? Why do people living in the suburbs drive huge diesel trucks when they never use them for anything more than getting groceries and going to work in an office job?
I own a jeep, I live in a very remote part of the state, on a steep, poorly maintained road. I needed something with a good amount of ground clearance, and the ability to gear down very low while descending my steep icy road. I also have a large truck, as we have a farm and need to haul horses, hay and other supplies. I’m always amazed when I visit a larger city at the number of Jeeps and trucks that I see that clearly haven’t been used for their intended purpose.
