Webny99 Clinching Trip(s)
vdeane:
webny99 is on Travel Mapping, so it's actually possible to see his travels on a map. Looks like those counties are fairly sparse as far as clinches go.

Yep, I've been to Holiday Valley (not skiing though), Rock City twice, and Allegany State Park a handful of times, and managed to pick up all of I-86, US 219 in NY, and NY 280 on various trips to/from PA/OH, but other than that my travels in those counties are a bit sparse. I've also been to Wiscoy Falls, just off of NY 19A south of Letchworth (home of this infamous sign combo), and I clinched NY 70 this summer which happens to form part of the radius of the area I've clinched.
As for Chautauqua County, I've been through on the Thruway many times, I-86 at least once that I can remember, and Point Gratiot Park in Dunkirk.

Thanks! I've heard of this service but never used it myself.

Well, if you ever are out this way again, I have some ideas for easy clinches.
NY 241 is a very short connector from Randolph to US 62 in the Town of Conewango. The route is quite curvy.
NY 446 spans Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties but is overall very short. It connects Hinsdale to Cuba, paralleling Route 17 its entire length.
I see you have visited Cuba on Route 305. The line stops right in Downtown; were you visiting the Cheese Factory by any chance?

The way Travel Mapping works, you have to choose from pre-determined waypoints when logging your travels. I know I've been on that segment of NY 305 because I made a travel stop at that exit for fuel and I believe also McDonalds. I don't think I went quite as far as NY 446 in downtown Cuba, but the cheese factory looks worth checking out, and it would make sense as a pairing with a clinch of NY 446. :)
NY 244 is also on my radar as a potential clinch.
kirbykart:
^Is that the one that goes from Belmont to Alfred? That's also a pretty short and easy clinch.
Another one I should have brought up is NY 322. A short connector between NY 83 and US 62 that runs through South Dayton.
