Here's the thing about exploring the Lybrook badlands: attempting to follow any particular route to get to a particular set of features can be problematic, or - as in my case on this trip - simply impossible. Vehicle access to your starting point for a hike is accomplished via oil company dirt roads that quickly turn into a complex maze once google maps gets you to the vicinity of interest. Only once (among the three times that I've driven into the place) have I been able to go directly where I intended to go, and that was done using not high-tech mapping tools, but a set of verbal instructions translated from the German as posted by another badlands enthusiast.
But not to worry - no matter where one ends up abandoning the effort to find the intersection of Road X with Dry Wash Z, you can always just get out and hoof it toward the distant scarps and eroded hills to the east and north of your chosen parking place. That's what I did on this occasion, and the results can be seen in this photo gallery. I was not disappointed.
