Getting closer back to the mouth of Old Dad Canyon, I walk up the hillside, following a grown-in former road

A small network of faded and washed-out switchback roads climbs the hillside here, perhaps leading to prospecting sites. The roads aren't indicated on my topo maps, but they are visible in Google Earth aerial views of the area.
