Took some weaving through the trees and a couple stuck spots but we got close today to our goal of this little lake

I don't know this area at all, but it looks like if you kept heading west past the second little lake you might find some pretty good views. Seems like a pretty abrupt ridgeline from the topo lines. I love to explore Google earth and mark all of the possible routes to a certain location, then drag them all into my gps and just keep trying until I get there. Looking at the sat view you can see way more roads than exist in the backroads mapbook.
That first lake looks good too - seems like you just about made it. If you had you probably would have been the only ones there for quite a while - doesn't appear there are many other roads in.
Good exploring!
Ya that little lake was the goal, it took a lot of work to get up that old road, clearing and weaving through the trees, and had a few good obstacles, we just ran out of time. It has been used by quads over the years, but not very often, lots of windfall that had been opened to width of a quad. There is some pics in the other post "Monday/Tuesday". It will be nice to complete this trail as it will eventually create a loop trail, some of the lines that look like roads are old skid trails too.
The ridgeline to the west is Blackjack ridge and is mostly logged off and yes there is some great views from there
