I have driven Rt. 177 over the tug hill plateau more than once, Ralph.
 Passed through Barnes Corners and Lowville, then 812 to Croghan and
Harrisville.  I never tried it in the winter though.  I worked with a
man who owned a summer / winter cabin just a stones throw from the
four corners at Barnes Corners.  That was and maybe still is a very
popular snowmobile area.  You can see why in the video.  The old Lake
Ontario snow machine really kicks in there on a good West wind.

The narrator really makes the video interesting.
