| Description: |
I have not driven this road yet. The following description is based on Google Earth view.
Starting from the end of Conduit South, FR130.B, Doc's is to the right, while Chlober Hill, FR130.C is to the left. Doc's is a short spur road that heads west along a stand of pine trees. You will come to a four way intersection where the stand of trees ends. To the right is an unnumbered road that follows the buried water pipeline. The unnumbered road to the left heads back around the south side of the stand of trees, back to where you started. The road will cross an open area with Box Creek to your left. After heading into the trees, the road will come to an end.
