Recent maintenance of this trail has left it in great shape. No evidence of the below damage. Fresh gravel around many curves. Almost no potholes. No vistas or views, but a very secluded little trail with some camping opportunities. The laurel was in bloom today made for a pretty ride.

Tree down just off of trailhead that blocks road. There is a way around, but it tilted the jeep 20°. Then a mile or so down the road, another tree that has not been cleared completely blocks the road.

Nice little get away. Trail in good shape. This is a very rarely used trail near a popular area, great when the camping areas on the other trails are taken.

Took a ride down here today to see how the heavy rains from the winter effected the trail. Still a really nice ride out in the wilderness. There were some puddles and some muddy areas, including some muddy hills. Still 2WD possible with good tires, or possible for any vehicle in dry conditions.
