Hello Mr Good :-) I was up to DCHS by way of the Bowen Ranch Rd this last Friday, and the road had the normal washboard in places, but other than that, it was no problem for two wheel vehicles of any type. Now we did get some significant rains on Sunday, and Monday evenings, which could have created some issues with that road. Hopefully a local like Laughing Bear may advise you of any changes in road conditions, due to the rain. The rash problem appears to have gone away with last winters huge floods. I have not heard of anyone having problems, and have not experienced any of it myself, since the floods. Happy Soakin :-)
