Here's a couple I have stumbled upon...

This one in Oregon I found while getting off I-5 for a break.

And this one in southern Montana while finding a short cut to the Yellowtail Dam during the Wyoming Rally last September. With the name Good Luck Rd. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a fun back road.

I need to bring my camera next time......I tried to ride it a few years ago on my SuperHawk, but it was unmaintained gravel, and was pretty nasty. My guess, by the name of it, is that traction would be hard to come by. North of Pepin, Wisconsin, somewhere in the sticks........Beaver Slide Road.

:dribble:

 
While chasing bonii in the Big Money Rally a couple weeks ago I came across some post offices with strange town names that I had some fun with.

They were going to name this place Copafeel Beach but changed their mind at the last minute. (Copalis Beach WA)

What were they thinking when they names this place? (Humptulips WA)

Didn't there used to be a road named ZZYZY heading out from Los Angeles. That was the magic word to take a short cut in the IBM PC (original) adventure game.

Great game.No video, all in your head.

Oh Yes, Good Luck Rd.in southwest MT. on the Crow Reservation. I was there last August, 2011 while scouting dams for Dam Tour. Thought it was a bit of an odd name but my concerne got even greater when I came across the surrounding fields ablaze. :rolleyes:

Also, in the 20 miles of travel on Good Luck Rd, there must have been an equal number of cattle guards across the road. I can only speculate that there was a CG at each property line along the road.

The finale of traveling God Luck Rd. was the fact that it eventually became Rotten Grass Rd. :blink:

Keep Going!
