Well got out and drove some of these roads today.
Went from Adako to Maple Sally to hwy90/Edgemont to National Forest road (later turns into Roseboro rd) then a right turn onto fs192/Old House Gap road. Then back down Edgemont to Globe road in Cragg. Good Day up in the mountains and nice weather too.
Old House Gap was real rough with rocks and deep washed out ruts and frozen mud holes. I was surprised Old House Gap Rd isn't more well traveled by the stock to light modded group. It's not real long but some good sized rock obstacles and deep washes are fun in a relatively stock vehicle. You can tell it doesn't get traveled much at all. Hardly any tracks on the ground and the trail is covered with leaves and such. Good thing is the trail is marked with white painted dots at all the turn-offs so you don't venture off onto private property (even though there are signs stating such) since only some are gated. Also if you go in from Roseboro Rd it is pretty much all up hill so it makes it more interesting. Just for reference I drive a 96 lx450/Land Cruiser with 2.5" lift and 32" tires, so nothing special and it was a fun time.
Some nice waterfalls on these roads and I saw a bunch of wild turkeys too lol. Check it out sometime if you get the chance its a nice ride.
