+Kissimmee Kouple Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Reading descriptions for benchmarks in Florida they often refer to a DIM road. What is a DIM road? Kissimmee Kouple Quote Link to comment
+seventhings Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 It's been my experience that a DIM ROAD is, literally, a road that is hard to see. Usually applies to an unpaved road that has been unused or little used for many years and is mostly, but not completely, overgrown. Around here (northern Virginia) there are many DIM WOODS ROADS. I would expect that unpaved roads become DIM ROADS faster in FL than almost anyplace else - year 'round growing season. Quote Link to comment
ArtMan Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I would agree with seventhings. Dim as in hard to discern. May or may not be paved (but probably not). Overgrown, possibly to the extent that trees are growing in the roadway (but they will be smaller/younger than others nearby). Long abandoned. Quote Link to comment
+Kissimmee Kouple Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Makes sense. I'll bet roads described as dim 20+ years ago will be a bit hard to find today Thanks for the replies. Kissimmee Kouple Quote Link to comment

+jeff35080 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Here is one I have found that has a "dim woods road" in the description. As others have mentioned, I found the road and it was quite 'dim' and not easy to find, but once located it was obvious that it was a road.
