I'm not actually sure what this one is supposed to be called, but it is an old gas/mining exploration road which is currently mostly used as an ATV tr...

Didn't get a close look, but looked like there was a cross ditch at the start making it an ATV trail.

Potholes and a bit rough to 2 km. The climb begins after the right turn. It was okay until about 2.5 km there was a cross ditch or uneven surface I ha...
