Something not right?
Description
Found this place on maps and figured I'd roll the dice. Road leads through some poor neighborhoods and turns to dirt. Last couple of corners are really tight with low hanging cables. My van is about 10' 3" and I snagged one and took it down. Also 24' long and had to back out around a tight corner to avoid taking down another cable. Feel bad enough as is without doing it twice.
Never made it to the place. Mostly adding this as a cautionary tale in case someone else tries the same thing later. If you investigate, do it in a VW van or a similarly small vehicle, and do it early in the day so you can find somewhere else if needs be.
For whatever it's worth, I'm very used to taking my van into some people's "small rig only" kinds of places. Minus the cables, I'd still have gone forward, but it was a bit of a bear backing myself out as it was. I wouldn't recommend pushing your luck on this one.
Edit: after closer inspection of the satellite view on Google, I think that maps just took me down the wrong road. I think there's a straighter road to get there. If anyone else figures it out, feel free to nuke this entire description and make a new one.
