Status Reports

didn't think to get photos unfortunately, I was too focused on driving. road definitely didn't seem like a 1/10 to me that's just your basic gravel road. this was more in line with a 3-4/10,( maybe more in certain spots near the peak.) deep ruts in some places, lots of loose rock(and sharp quartz) on moderately steep inclines especially the closer you get to the top.. that being said I'm not the most experienced off roader. ymmv.
