Folks, just how bad or good is the road into the area? I may be able to make a quick trip down but have about zilch for ground clearance under the car.

Only the last 0.1 miles is unpaved. There are deep ruts, but it is easy to straddle them without scraping. I went up there with a friend who was driving a regular minivan, and he had no trouble at all.

I just checked the weekend weather forecast for Badger Ca, and it looks like we have a chance for rain this weekend. Make sure you guys plan accordingly.
