I really don't think that the testing log adds much of anything to the actual article, but the main body was interesting enough to me, so +1

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1572.
I have to agree that the testing log added very little. Only the last one is even a little bit interesting.
Also, the appearance of monsters feels a little forced here; it's like you wrote it, decided it wasn't creepy enough, so monsters were added.
Overall not bad, but I don't feel like its interesting enough on its own. Reading the comments below, it sounds like this is part of something bigger, which is cool, but I would almost rather this be a foundation tale than as an SCP, at least in its current form.
As I said in chat, the first picture makes no sense to be there, if they're just traveling along normal roads. It's just a picture of a roadside. A mundane, non-anomalous roadside that happens, in one case, to be along the route chosen to take you to the root.
(account deleted)Is this a rewrite, or in addition to the other one?

What's the second picture supposed to be? I don't know about some of the D-class, but that doesn't look like a manifestation of any of my childhood memories…
I believe it's a chunk of whale that washed up on a beach somewhere.

The test logs don't really make any sense to me from an in-universe perspective. After losing even one person you'd think the foundation would at least attempt to somehow secure the second. After losing three they would either cancel testing or try a lot harder to find out where they were disappearing to.
I concur.
This could be fixed by mentioning the esclating instructions, threats, GPS units, and remote video equipment given to the progressive D-class. All of which would fail, I'm assuming; but it's in character for the Foundation to make the attempt.
The test log is the same test repeated, with the same results (and methodology) every time, it adds nothing. It would read better with some exposition worked into the log over the course of the test series, I think.
No vote for now.
Jesus, this whole backroots mythos is so reminiscent of my own childhood. I don't know how, but somehow I suspect it's so ingenious that it triggers the same kind of feeling in many other people, or maybe it was just my childhood that had these specific experiences, but I can definitely relive my memories through this series.
