Description
We camped at one of the wild camping spots out on this road. There was a small shower in the forecast, but we woke up to hail and lightning. Almost immediately the camping spot began to flood so we headed back up to this road. It was partially collapsed in some places and rivers of flood water were pouring across. One spot was too sketchy to cross so we found an elevated spot to wait it out til the morning. By 8am, there were already tractors out working to repair the road. Be aware of flash floods in this area and if there is any rain in the forecast, choose an elevated camping spot or don’t camp here at all.
