[@scottpardee6303]

One of the most mesmerizing drives in New England. The hills, rivers trees, fields, and towns are all beautiful, on a clear day! Thank you for screening!

[@MileMarker4k]

Thank you Scott! This is one drive I can get never get enough of. I have to resist doing this drive too many times in all different seasons

My favorite ride in Massachusetts. The world always seems close in this state until you ride out on mohawk

7:56: Gould's Sugarhouse, a wonderful restaurant, sadly now closed after the owner retired in 2022, the view across the valley is stunning 10:27: Turn left here or right before or after the bridge at 11:40 to get to Shelburne Falls, a great little old mill town with shops, restaurants, a theater, the scenic bridge of flowers, and some awesome glacial potholes. The movie "The Judge" starring Robert Downey Jr. was filmed there. 21:16 turn left in the winter to reach Berkshire East Mountain Resort for skiing and snowboarding.

Absolutely love this! If you get a min of free time I did a little walk through Shelburne falls mixed with film locations of dexter when it was shot there a few years ago

[@scottpardee6303]

And yes, coming down the hill into North Adam’s, 38:22 is the most memorable part of the trip!

Has Charlemont decided what to do with the old Charlemont Inn? I hope it can be saved..many fond memories of stopping there after a day skiing at Berkshire east.

[@MileMarker4k]

Unfortunately I haven't heard anything. I do this drive once or twice a year and haven't seen much happening with the property as of last fall

[@genekelly8467]

Is the old "Scotch Mist" restaurant now a residence? I recall it was closed for years (1:22)

[@MileMarker4k]

I'm not sure... I'll be heading this way in a couple weeks and will have to see

[@genekelly8467]

That brick multi-family house in Charlemont (at 20.29) always interested me..anybody know about it?

[@MileMarker4k]

I don't but I'm definitely following along on this comment to learn!

[@Matt-ro4qe]

The best I could find was that it was maybe built in 1900, likely at the tail end of the economic boom during the hoosac tunnel construction era. The address is 119 Main Street, Charlemont, MA, if you want to try to find more.

I grew up in Hawley (just south of Charlemont), when I was a child in the 80's there were shops on the first floor of this building and apartments upstairs. I remember one of the shops was called "Mom's" and we used to go in there to buy their brownies.

light appalachian geography.soft appalachian geography is southern ı think.

[@MileMarker4k]

It's a little more Northern where they become more rolling hills. They get much larger north in New Hampshire and south in Tennessee

[@jarydjackson8531]

How desperately I need to get away from the city to see this... I wish my bikes gas tank wasn't so small.

[@MileMarker4k]

Don't let that hold you back! The silence and space is good for the soul. You can rent an enterprise car for about $40 for the day. Plenty worth it for some relaxation
