The Erbie To Compton Road
|
For many years we used to take the dirt road from Erbie to Compton and back, traveling through the Park. A few years ago signs were put up stating that the road was no longer being maintained and to travel it at your own risk. I had not been on that road since I saw those signs, however my friend wanted to try it so we started at the Caver's Camp and then past the Erbie Church. We made our way up the mountain towards Compton. I can report that the is indeed not maintained, but it is passable. You will need a 4 wheel drive vehicle that sit well up off the road. A truck with large wheels is a good candidate. Once we got going we went slow, and crawled over many boulders that would have left a car's oil pan on the ground. But in the end we made it to the top. On the way we saw some very interesting sights.
