DFW Area Roads for Driving (Updated 26JAN2011), Any small or large routes that are close to the DFW Options

[Spider77]

So, here it is.
I'm starting this one outside of the DFW Meet thread because its not necessarily for the sole purpose of meets. The information that I'm posting here is for everyone in the area who likes get out and take a nice drive. As you know most of DFW is flat, but if you go outside a bit you can find some real nice roads. Thats not to say there are not any in the flatness, but those are far and few between.
So here is how the format is going to work. Location, Distance(that the run is), Description, Pics/Video.
If you have a route that you want to share (or want to add something to an existing route.), feel free to add it (just make sure its not already covered in here)


The Routes:
1.)Glen Rose (Second Post)
2.)Farm Road 5 South (Fifth Post)
3.)Decordova-Cleburne Loop (Ninth Post)
4.)Possum Kingdom (Coming Soon)
5.) Turbine Run (Coming Soon)

Routes to Avoid:
1.)Shoreview/Heron Drive (Lake Worth Castle Run). Anyone who cruised with me last year knows this route, and while it was fun the roads were falling apart. Revisited and found out that the roads were fixed, sort of. They laid down some asphalt, but it seems they never finished the job (or maybe that was their plan), the small rocks are loose, the road is already starting to show signs of wear. Two real bad things about this run. One, its like driving on tiny gravel, so there is no real traction at higher speeds (even going slightly above posted limits in a turn is bad), I know this cause I went sideways for about twenty feet out of a turn. Secondly, its like driving on tiny gravel, the reason I say this again is because tons of small rocks love to fly up and hit the car. Not only does it sound annoying, it cant be good for the paint. Also the route after the castle (Silver Creek/Watercress) is worse than before, and now has added speed humps (I guess that is their solution to keeping traffic out). It was a nice run and I hope that they get it fixed. I will check again in the spring/summer.

2.)Cahoba Drive (Mt. Cahoba as some call it here). I guess I took the wrong way there. I came off of 820N, and even though it looks like fun on Google Maps, it sucks. I encountered speed humps (massive ones to boot) about every 200-300 feet. It was stupid, and now my resonator hates me (and that was going slow over them). Again, I read about this route on other local forums and people said it was great. Its only saving grace (and speed hump free zone) is about 1 mile strip with a tight hairpin (even then the road sucks and has rocks all over it). On top of that, the turns had me brushing against tree branches to avoid idiots that have to drive in the middle when making a turn (sorry guy, your truck cant take corners that fast, so slow down).
