Heh!
On a trip from VT south into western MA I was following the idyllic, low traffic VT 142 along the CT River. Google Bike Maps suggested that I take Pond, Scott, and Old Vernon Roads instead of 142 out of Vernon VT...
Pond Rd soon became a rough and tumble double track similar to Max's picture! By this time I was too far along to abort the side route. I continued on until it re-joined 142.
