The temporarily closed sign is temporarily closed.
Hard to believe that it is open at all. And somebody's house at the bottom. |

I think the house is part of the wilderness campground, Jim.

See that bicycle in the back of the truck? I'd be more impressed if he used that. Up or down, rider's choice.

Seems a funny kind of "wilderness."

Long time ago, saw a definite fail at this location. Brakes gave out on the way down. Interesting to see a new rectangular truck turned into a round lump.

How do you define wilderness? When it takes 9 days to drive specially prepared vehicles 8.5 miles and the alternative is helicopter or shanks mare, I'd call that wilderness. I've seen a lot of official US Government grade A prime wilderness in Alaska, that had roads through it you could drive an ordinary pick-up on, which is more than this has.
I remember that, although they probably had five point harnesses and roll bars, it's a miracle nobody was killed.

Shanks mare [sic] is a good start. Wkipedia finishes it: "The main feature of them is that human activity is restricted significantly." |
