Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: The left fork of the spur road (23-51-5) is in rough shape with vertical ruts for a short stretch about half-way up. I was able to navigate in mid-clearance, but wasn't fun, particularly going up. I contemplated walking the road from this stretch, but once I was close enough to see the issue, I didn't want to back-up downhill to avoid it. Imagine this may not be passable for mid-clearance after the winter.

Comments
Comments: Easy whack - 30 minute round trip, following a woods road for about 1/2 of it. Good woods otherwise.
