Thats funny, I just discovered this today. My wife and I are going on vacation in a couple of weeks and we may do part of this route.

I'm sure everyone wants to get away for some R&R. If you go, let me know how things shake out. Be safe.

This looks interesting. Not sure if I can get any time off in July, but was wondering how many days your're planning on taking off if you want some company?

Fly Boy thanks for the reply. Currently the situation is fluid. We have reservations at a campsite elsewhere, but I saw this while doing research for other places. I'm still trying to convince the wife this would be a better plan. We are new to getting out and doing overland trips and she thinks every trip is like the Rubicon. If it becomes official I will hit you back. I do think if I get her out, we will be taking it slow. Probably do a section of the trail and camp more than drive. The world feels like its falling apart and we want to take it easy. I was trying to find out what the conditions were like. I got to ease her into doing trips. From what I have read it looks like an easy ride with the exception of Poker flat. Be safe.

The guide book on your link, is a good resource. You can also get a hard copy from the forest.

Thanks. I printed that out when I found it. Just looking for resent conditions seeing how Forest service is not answering their phones.
