Only rode the eastern half, joining this road from Cooper Gap. It was raining most of the time I was on the trail, so I didn’t see anyone else. Trail in good shape with no significant ruts.

Easy gravel road. Pretty dusty today. A few campsites including a really large one set back a bit off the road that could accommodate 3 or 4 vehicles and tents @ 34.642800,-84.056200.
