Lame, lame, lame but good pics. Two wheel drive road. Was done and down to Empire by 9:30 AM so went up toward the Empire Loop.
I think I took a wrong turn and almost ended up going down Red Elephant. Didn't see the Hilton so I don't think I did the entire loop. See the Google Earth links below. Pics momentarily. They will be in the followup posts.
There's been a lot of rain up there. Puddles everywhere.
