A bit further down Old Kelso Road I notice another Wilderness marker that people drive around and ignore

There's probably a nice campsite at the end of this "illegal" road too, nestled against Old Dad Mountain. Too bad this road wasn't kept open as a "cherrystem" into the Wilderness like many others.
