As far as the gate at Miller Rock, we were just there a few weeks ago and had no issue. Fredrok called the day before and gave them a heads up, we hit the gate, called them (Verizon and ATT had service) they unlocked the gate and we rolled right through."
hmmm....I have ATT and had zilch for service at the gate, and I think Cameron had Verizon and nothing from him too (not sure though). Running that trail was a spur of the moment kind of thing, so no ability to call ahead really. I just don't get why they would have it locked at all this time of year. No kids to steal, easy unrestricted access to the property from the main camp entrance so if someone really wanted to get on the property it wouldn't be hard. It was clear that someone else either couldn't get a hold of the office or was too impatient to do so and cut the bolt, as that is how we found it, not just left open.
Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but it just seems silly to me. Fun trail though, and its doable for just about anyone on here. Cameron's rig is currently only mildly built with a small lift and some larger tires, but he had no problems at all. The only thing I would say is that if that area gets a bunch of snow, there are a few places where its off camber and the road is narrow, and not much to stop you from rolling down a steep embankment. It will be obvious if that is the case at the beginning though, and the main place I am thinking of had enough room for a rig or two to turn around. just before it. If its like that at Miller, then Rock Creek and Bunce will be more "fun" then they are currently, and I'm sure it would still be worth the drive up there.
