Road was rough and deteriorated. Lots of smaller rocks and ruts. Several dispersed camping spots along the river.

Very easy. Did not require 4wd, but a couple of spots required higher clearance (don’t take you car)

Nothing technical, nice drive with some nice views in Winter. Several sketch long term campers and some suspicious situations on Saw Mill. Decided to pass through Sylco and back to E Cowpen to make camp.
