Behind Hannaford on route 50 in Glenville. Go to the left side of the building- theres a little clearing with a small hill/bump. Drive over that and youre there. Ive never heard of it being called a shale pit but thats the only offroad spot I know of by a grocery store. ---

When I was in high school we went back there all the time. Theres a mazda truck still there in the woods we crashed against a tree in 98. If there is a shit ton of noise they will come over, the police station is right across the road. ---
