Still trying to figure out what service road they took. I’ve been all over there when I was younger in a rwd, and know just about all off them. GPS would not have taken them off on one of them, they are all dirt roads, not even gravel for the most part, and not really marked other than a turnout on 67. Some of them are like fire roads, with grass growing over any tire tracks. I know the gate that was closed and just before the gate there is a fire road to the right that is touch even with a good 4WD. It’s tricky to take that one to find a way to the truck trail that leads to the Rim from there. It’s not marked

My first time to England; rental company GPS told me to take a 90 degree left off of A-something onto a dirt trail about four feet wide. I didn’t follow instructions and simply drove ‘till I saw buildings and spent a nice hour or so in a local pub where someone actually knew how to get where I was going to.

When traveling the south side of Fort Bragg, NC along Plank or Chicken Roads and you’re try to get to Southern Pines a GPS will try and route you north along the Fire Breaks (single lane dirt trails). Many of them lead into the Artillery Impact Areas.

Could be bad for somebody who says “The GPS says turn here.”
