Its just 30 yards through those trees there... 30 yards of thick shit that gets worse as the yards progress only to get to a 'road' that is more overgrown than the 30 yards of shit you just somehow managed to get through.

I do agree, "You can't always trust Google Maps".
I drove to rural Tennessee from Southeast Missouri to meet with a gunsmith who was selling some barrels. The whole trip went well, right up to the last 15 miles. Not knowing the area, I relied on Google Maps for the final leg of the trip. Google maps routed me out into the sticks on gravel roads. I was hopelessly lost when the road ended at a pond. I backtracked out to the main road and got proper directions. Unfortunately, I was late for the meet. It seems that Google does this frequently when they feel there is a 'better route'.

I trusted OnX in a thick spot in the Big Horns a few years ago. It showed a dotted "trail" to a spot that looked promising and where we suspected a bull we busted headed. We decided to give it a try, and while there may have been a trail there at some point in the last 200 years, after about a quarter mile we aborted.

Apple Maps does the same so be wary. It re-routed my daughter and I through about 20 miles of gravel in the Spearfish Valley last spring instead of the main roads. IIRC, we forgot to select a radio button that told Siri to avoid gravel...
