Ahh, that makes sense, especially since all the TOURIST car , truck, motor home, bus etc traffic was chewing up the road. If left alone the " road " would eventually revert back to the rough two track it once was, ala Gold Camp Road or Old Stage. Then ONLY the hardy with bikes and 4wd could make it up. The way it should be. Once again, JMO. BTW, who " owns " the road anyway now?
