Wizard,
The water and pavement is not at the curve near Rock springs ranch. It is @ 200 yards closer to the Bowen ranch. There is still water crossing the road there, I would bet on it.
Laughing bear,
I think I may have done that also. That pavement was well worth the risk and money involved. A lot of people do not know about the rubber hoses the Government put under the road there back when they owned the property. They were put there to get water to the debris dam down hill from there. It was used as a desert training site before WW2.
Yes, there are some amazing stories about that area.
