This road can be VERY ROUGH but most vehicles with normal
clearance will have no problems in the summer or early fall as long
as you go slow and watch for the rocks growing in the road. They
must be growing because they keep getting taller every year until
they are harvested!
You should not attempt this cache in early spring(mud season) or
late fall (after snow) unless you are comfortable with your
vehicles ability to get out of any mess you get into! The road is
also used by ATVs or snowmobiles based on the season.
I don't know the exact history of the farm and it was abandoned
before I was born. It was torn down sometime in the late 60's or
early 70's and the fields are pretty much grown over.
I remember seeing what I believe was the biggest spider I ever
saw at the entrance to the barn when I was very young. The house
was also standing at this time but my folks would not let us go
inside.
The last residents of this farm were Hank and Roy Lohnes who
were my mother' great uncles. Roy was a wounded WWI vet who I
remember visiting many times at his home in Andover. Hank passed
before I was born. Hank and Roy are buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery
in Andover.
The boys were also guides and "sports" came from all over to
hunt and fish in the area. There are some pictures somewhere of the
farm in those days and I will add some to the listing as I find
them.
Watch out for ATVs on the road and bring gallons of bug
repellant!
