That's the way I took, Auger hole road to route 9 (are you telling me I wasn't lost!?) It felt so far.

If you thought you were lost, try it in late March when it's all muddy and full of holes.
Auger Hole will take you into Newfane(if you take it from rt 9). You can get to the mountain that way as well. But I think the best thing to do is to take Auger Hole to Higgly hill (if you're coming from route 9) Auger Hole turns to Higly Hill pretty pretty quickly. We had to turn around to get back on Auger Hole. That what us flatlanders get for "hey, let's see where this road goes!" at night, while it's snowing.

I drove up some other road called Stratton hill Road that on the map led to route 9 but totally ended unplowed with little room to turn around

That's the fun ride time!! If you're REALLY adventerous, you can stay on Higley Hill Rd until the end, where it intersects with Rte 9 (EAST of Hogback!) and then continue across Rte 9, winding through the "back country" eventually into West Halifax and then onto Rte 112 less than 3 miles from the VT/MA border! Mud season though, unless you're in something like a Ford F350 Superduty or a Hummer H1 or a large vehicle manufactured by someone like John Deere or Caterpillar, it's an adventure to say the least
That's the fun thing about unpaved VT roads...they may turn into an unplowed Class IV with little to no warning.
