I don't think it's that whoopy anymore. Cal's Honda Civic made it out there unscathed. They seem to be grading it somewhat often. A few years ago it was whoopy enough to get my poor overloaded '90 to repeatedly bottom out at relatively slow speeds. But since then, they've been grading it and laying gravel, and have built a bridge over the truly frightening feature. After a nice relatively flat area where you could get some nice speed going, there was a sudden 35+ degree downslope into a 8-10' deep drainage wash area and an almost immediate climb back out of it. When hurrying out Boone Road after dark to get out to the lakebed, it could come as quite an unpleasant surprise. But it now has a bridge crossing it, so even that isn't an issue.

I think you'll be just fine!!

They graded the rest of the road to Means before KOH this spring, so no whoops. Just dirt road to the lakebed where we camp. But, once you hit the lakebed it's best to slow down unless you know where ALL of the bomb craters are. We don't want that to happen again.

How about the year before when that green CJ out of Fresno flew off one hit the wall on the other side and almost ripped his front axle all the way off?

How about maybe 6 years ago when a green TJ from Simi Valley did exactly the same thing and broke the front 9" in half? I was passenger on that one.



I also hit the same one Kyung hit, in the yellow XJ about 6 years ago. I went about 4 ft in the air but luckily came down on all four tires.......kept right on going and ran Sledgehammer.

Well, I left out that I trussed the D44 after that, since it had a little crack in it.

But after the unexpected jump I didn't even slow down.

Everyone just be careful around the craters, unless I'm there to witness the event!!

Anybody got some gps coordinates or an address I can punch in to find out how to get there? In LA until 11/14 for business but would love to come out and watch or maybe ride along.

Where in LA are you at, and when are you free?

If the scheduling works out, you can ride out with me. I may have a free seat come trailtime too, my potential passenger hasn't commited.

Not him, he has his own jeep.

Pretty bad when even your imaginary friend rejects your company.
