Driving on the Golden Road, Telos Road and then the Useless Road in Maine around Baxter State Park. These roads are not used for much besides logging. Don't play with them or you play with fire. A bit bumpy.
worked in Scott Brook Camp in the seventies that's when their was plenty of wood and a man could make a good living Scott Brook had the best cooks on the Great Northern at that time all in the history books now the good wood is all gone now and they tell me its a struggle to make ends meat in the woods up there anymore mills all closed in most of the state
Zwei4Eins, ;-);-)...sounds like you need to get an interest in something...(keeping it PC..;-)). Fwiw...before the lower end of the Golden Road was built in the early 70s the woods in Somerset County(North & South Branches) received much less traffic. The water table was much higher(much less crustal rebound) and the whole area was a lot wilder...was a true Eden...but is still interesting to dive into DeLorme's state atlas.
That green Freightliner being loaded in the video belonged to RS Bourgoin trucking out of Millinocket. That was either myself or my boss in the video. TFF!!
We like to go camping at Penobscot -- close to the stores, where you can restock on beer as necessary. We've taken my Jeep down these roads plenty of times, but always on the "main" dirt roads. Does anyone know a good place to legally go light four-wheeling around there?
cant get they'ah from he'ah. atleast without that road. its called golden because it cost almost a million a mile to make. my road is far bumpier here in NH tho. however much shorter :-P
it's called The Golden Road because the president of great Northern Paper said they could haul enough wood that it could be paved with gold and still pay for itself. My father's road construction company built some of that road.
@@zone4garlicfarm Computers (and other anomalies) have greatly reduced the need for paper, causing paper mills to close, and weather conditions (mud and fire danger) greatly curtail pulp logging. Also, IMHO, they cut trees faster than they can grow them, lol.
They are privately owned but open to public travel. A friendly reminder log trucks have the right away which often travel with tandem and wide load trailers. It's very rough in spots, good tires and spares are a must.

If you drive on this road move over for moose or trucks barreling through loaded with logs!
