I did this summit on 26 March as it was close to where I was staying. It poured rain on me the whole time but I came out with 14 quick contacts including a S2S with Etienne K7ATN on 146.52. I drove up the road and until my truck would not make it any further (4WD) and then hiked up the rest of the way. If you look at my everytrail tracks the "GO" marker is where the dirt road starts and the "END" marker is where I parked the truck. You could drive further then this if it was a dry day or if you had a jeep or 4 wheeler. I think that the only vehicle that would make it to the top would be a 4 wheeler but then again I know some jeeps that can do amazing things if you are good. My trail follows the road until you see it head straight up and then I am following a jeep/ATV trail. There is a lot of ATV activity here on the weekends so it is a better weekday activation. Any vehicle can get to my "GO" point and there is plenty of parking there. Paved road all the way. No pictures on this one as I did not want to get the phone/camera out in the rain to much. Temperature was 39 degrees but with the rain and limited cold weather / rain gear it was quite chilly. A fun quick activation. Out the door at 0700 and back by 1000. Thanks to all the chasers.
