Difficulty

The surface is packed gravel and locations with sand. Expect ruts after wet areas dry. Remaining water holes seemed to have hard bottoms, but being able to tell the difference in a wet time of year could be interesting. Several areas had tight turns with slight hills, making oncoming traffic hard to spot.
