I have an unusual question that I hope someone living in the area can answer. This past weekend my husband and I drove through Delaware Co on our way home from New Jersey. He wanted to stop at the Catskill Fly Fishing Museum in Roscoe. Well, we spent a little more time in Delaware Co than planned. From there we were going to take Route 206 (??) up to 88. We ended up on a detour that took us in a long loop around (something like Craig Hill Rd) and about back to where we'd started. Yes, I know it said not a through road. But, my husband said it probably did really go through. Anyway, my question is, I believe just after we started on either Route 206 or the detour we passed a place on the left of the road where it seemed they were putting up a bridge that had this enormous rustic fence and gate. It didn't seem to really enclose anything. And, I couldn't read the signs on it as I was trying to snap photos of it while we were driving. Not really successfully I might add. Does anyone know what this fence and gate are for? Thanks, Patty p.s. Going through Delhi on Route 28 was and probably will be the closest I'll ever get my husband to the countryside of his ancestors. They were in Davenport, Kortright, Meredith, Harpersfield in the early 1800's through 1900's. I had thought I could talk him into taking a drive through on 23, but we spent to much wasted time on the detour he just wanted to get going. We still had to drive all the way to NH.

Can I ask who your husband's ancestors were? I have Griffins and Durphys from Harpersfield.
