Haha yea, i'd take the jeep to the start of the track in the Dome, but i'd just watch other people go through

my jeep is still classed as a shiny - for now!

The farm track at the top of Tunnel Rd does not follow the paper road so you would be trespassing if you go passed where the gravel road ends. They are also harvesting in the forest where it ends so you will not be granted permission.
