There's an apple orchard nearby and if you GPS to that orchard it brings you to this road. You want to take the road that comes after this one. I saw this sign last month.

Good old Libby & Sons. Lovely scenery, shitty peaches.

When you confuse 🍎 🍏 for 🍑 they will not taste good.

Never had their apples. If they are anything like their peaches then I’m sure they suck.

There's a reason Maine isn't the peach state.

I had some truly excellent peaches at Pietree Orchard a few years ago. First time I learned peaches could even grow in Maine. So they're not all bad!

people still get stuck down there thinking they know better, spinning tires until they're sunk up to their undercarriage.

"how was i supposed to know?"

The locals have huge plywood signs for the same reason on the way to Canobie Lake Park.

This would only make me curious. Could they just say that the road is muddy, unpaved, and cars get stuck? That would likely work a lot better

I see limerick on the news alot. Panty theif, the dude walking down the hill and got hit, the dollar general thing, the snow mobile thing, the koi in pickerl pond. Never for anything good. Still not ashamed of it tho. Love limerick.

I did this in vermont and ignored a sign. then my edibles hit. wound up on single lane cliff roads (as wide as 1 car, no rails, cliff dropoff) that lead to broken jeep trails. no cell reception. At one point I had a vague ufo type experience alone in a field when I stopped to pee under the full moon in a field and I turned and saw an unmoving jet black circle next to me unlike anything visually where I was. I cried at one point. It was a nightmare. Took me hours at night to figure it out. never ignore these signs.

I feel like the moral of your story is less about the signs and more about not driving under the influence

metatron207 t1_itk41wz wrote

I'd say a little of both. I wouldn't want to end up driving single-wide cliffside roads even if I was stone-cold sober, to say nothing of it being nighttime.

Yes, because my eyes are literally glued to my GPS.

Seriously guys, I can't get them off and the optometrist is closed for the day, please advise.

Well, what kind of glue did you use?

Hot glue? Try rubbing alcohol.

Elmer's glue? Try water.

Super glue? Try giving up.

Google isn't always automatically right about everything.

If you input my own parents house into google maps and apple maps both take you to a quarry on an entirely separate road. OpenStreetMap is correct, though,

You can make suggestions on Google Maps to correct wrong addresses. I did it for a friends farm and occasionally Google will send me an email telling X # of people have benefited from my update

I've tried to tell Google a few times that this one road in Aroostook county doesn't exist, was only at best ever an access road for tractors. They don't listen even though it's obviously covered in downed trees and things on street view, lol.

That's typically because the town has it on a map. 911 street maps that all towns are supoose to have is where maps typically get thier data. User suggestions can help but usually you need more then one report unless your a local guide or have a really high user score. It's hard to get reports when your north of the internet.

Yeah the dirt road that accesses my dirt road is listed as a road where it is at best an atv trail and my road is gated but shows on Google as public and open.

Photografeels t1_itltgs3 wrote

Yeah, sometimes they ain’t the smartest. Do it from another Google account and see if that helps

The people that live there will yell at you too if you even dare go down that way, even to turn around. They’ll yell out from their lawn, “can’t you read the sign???!!!”

I couldn’t resist taking the path less travelled last time I brought the kids to pick apples

I could have used one of those signs in Baldwin the other day. The road appeared to go straight through but then it tapered down to a "closed for winter maintenance" goat path of a dirt road.

The most useful street sign in maine.

Guygan t1_ithwbvi wrote

So many questions.

Are they threatening that if you drive on their road, they will make it unsafe for you?

Is it a public road?

Mikerm3 OP t1_ithwp7s wrote

technically you can make it through in the summer, but in the winter you will get stuck

it’s more of a ‘fair warning’ than anything else

Guygan t1_iti0gcw wrote

Then why not put a sign that says “Unpaved road. Off-road vehicles only”?

My parents camp rd is a dead end. GPS doesn’t know this. There is a similar sign at the “other end” telling you to gtfo.

Accidentally missed that sign first time I went that way but didn't get stuck. I've learned not to trust Google maps since then.
