In the Ghost today. The condition of the road has vastly improved since a couple of months ago.

There is some heavy equipment apparently doing some (re)construction work on the diversion berms, and so the Big Hill has been regraded and only has a few soft spots and is very easy going. They have also graded and compacted a new crossing from the bottom of the hill straight across to the top of the berm, so the gravel in the riverbed felt almost like hard top.

I'm sure someone might (will!) prove me wrong, but I'd bet most passenger cars could fairly easily make it down the hill and over to the west side of the diversion right now.

Get it while you can!
