Since I picked up my GS a few weeks ago I’ve been out exploring roads that’s appear to be dirt from Apple/Google maps satellite view. I’m finding almost all of the roads have a gates. Some of these gates are purple with no signs (the assumption is it’s “posted”since that’s what a purple fence post means), some have odd hand written warnings, and some say bridge out road closed. Looking at maps these are public roads so I’m thinking these aren’t legit gates and I can legally make my way through. What is the general rule of thumb when you come across these gates? For example today I went to explore CR110 in Burnet and about a half mile in I found a purple gate with no signs. The gate wasn’t locked so I took the chance and went in. I was then confronted with another gate about another half mile down. This one had a painted sign “Posted Only people with permission from <someone’s Name> in charge of <whatever> Corporation allowed beyond this point. It was a CR that continued on for a long ways past this section, the lake bucanon area. I took that as a sign (pun intended) to not push my luck and head back.
I also just found the thread on legal dirt roads around Austin, bummed I didn’t see that sooner. I skimmed through the whole thread and didn’t pick up on comments related to how people generally handle the gates, so I started this thread. If this is a repetitive thread I apologize and feel free to delete it.
