Thanks Wizard......it seems natural for people to follow the path of least resistance. There seems to be ample space to park at the top of the hill although vandalism has been a problem in the past. I do use the USFS lot by the sign and its true if you dont have 4wd...forgetaboutit.
What puzzles me is why the USFS would blaze a freeway down that little ravine? Whoever made that decision must of been smoking crack.
