Notes

The location in the State Guidebook is really VAGUE! We got directions from davidsquall351 at youtube. Because he is concerned about damage to Carved Rock, he asked that we not publish the directions. Try messaging him at Youtube. He is very kind.

Afterthoughts

At a certain point, it becomes more of a path than a road. There are many DEEP ruts, holes and drops in the road. You should probably have a high clearance vehicle or 4 wheel drive. Avoid this site if it has rained recently.
