I thought I'd replied to this, but it didn't make it to the list. So
here's the same reply:

I haven't tried the Grape Hollow route yet, but I was looking at it on

go over the hills (Rushmore Rd., Hortontown Rd., Long Hill Rd., East
Mountain Rd.) but don't get all the way to Beacon. Ever tried those?
