SQRLPWR Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Enter the Pipeline from the usual entrance, you come to an opening; Right is Myra Left is the 'Pipeline' Straight on is ? - IDK if anyone has run this trail, Derek and I ran it for a little while and it looks like it 'could' reach Porters Lake....but we gave up as we didn't know if it was in protected land.

sar4x4 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 You'd have to give me a GPS track of where you were. Pipeline starts at two entrances, and there is Rocky Myra and muddy Myra. Basically only Rocky and Muddy reach back tp Porters Lake to my knowledge and I know the area quite well, but not perfect and things do change!

sar4x4 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 You were on 'Rocky Myra', the rocky route to Myra Road, at Porter's Lake. If you went to the right instead of left on the pipeline there are a couple swings back to the Old Guysborough Road, they could be nice short routes if they aren't blocked at the other ends.

SQRLPWR Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 oh ok thanks :) ...we thought right was Myra. I can see now on Bing Maps, that right turn could end up on Aerotech Drive. BTW, I know know if you knew, but with a Microsoft account you can import the GPX's into Bing Maps, then get a really fantastic Birds-Eye view...much better than Google Earth :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hmmm, it looked different from where we exited it before. Maybe just because we were there at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I can get really turned around at night, or with no leaves and snow on the ground like when we cut Renfrew, I had to look a couple of times to figure out where we were! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 yes, they call it 'Birds Eye' - and it's really detailed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I use OziExplorer and MapInfo and can switch between Bing and Google in each, and Bing actually works smoother so I default to it first. If Bing imagery is poor then I check Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 On Bing maps birds' eye the picture is from early summer 2008. Quite out of date for some areas, but focuses in a lot more in most places better than Google B)! I like it, but it would be nice if the satellite photos were a little more current.

SQRLPWR Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 yeah...Renfrew looks pretty decent too on MS..probably out of date tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 yeah...Renfrew looks pretty decent too on MS..probably out of date tho I can see from the Bing map satellite photo when it was taken by looking at my house... Leaves on the trees and no siding yet... Then zoom over to where I was working at the that time in Dartmouth and I see my truck and trailer parked at the house that we were working on when my house got sided. The photo was taken within a week of my house getting sided, so about the second week of July, 2008 B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 There is a website on 'open source / open street map' that shows Bing Imagery dates. I can post it... when I go into the office later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo was taken within a week of my house getting sided, so about the second week of July, 2008 B) . My area is from the end of July 2011. I can see deck framing (no deck boards), a tree that I removed after building the deck, and 2 houses that were build that summer. One has a dozer levelling the lot, so with quite a bit of accuracy it was the last week of July 2011 as I always take the last week of July - first week of August every year. I finished my deck before the end of the month (July) ;) Jay, you were on Rocky (as above). That is the trail that left a golf ball sized dent in my lower oil pan. First trail I ran with the club in 2009, and the reason for the lift, skids, bumpers, CB, tires.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Jay, you ran that trail with us from Porter's Lakebto the airport and banged up your oil pan. ...and Derek has run it more twice, slicing a tire both times... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autumnwalker Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Started to venture into trail location details... I've pruned a couple posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Those side trails near aerotech are a lot of fun, there is lots of mud in some of them even when pipeline is dry. Muddy Myra would lead to porters lake but there is a pretty nasty crossing. Eugene knows which one I m talking about, there are 2 possible spots to go across. I would only try it if I had someone with a winch and that doesn't care a whole lot about his rig. I have 34s and I would still smash my truck on those rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I was thinking about trying it with a couple game people and run a few trails out that way for a summer camping trip. Something like rum rocky myra from porters lake to the airport then run muddy Myra all the way back to porters lake. I know of 2 other fun trails in that area too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Mitch, have you done much exploring in Fall River? I've been out on Kelly Rd and Holland Rd which look like you could make it out to the airport. I didn't get too far into it on my own..but found a pithttp://xterrra.blogspot.ca/2013/12/just-quckie.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 ..and there is also another route to aerotech but its gated....sometimes the gate is open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I've been back Kelly on an ATV, but that was over 15 years ago. The road goes right back to the lake if I recall, and you can also get on the power lines too I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
