The road is paved up to USFS Rd 6210. USFS Rd 6210 is fairly well maintained dirt but does occasionally have large boulders in the road and brush can grow into the road creating Texas pinstriping for wider vehicles and growth in the center of the road can scrape the bottom of lower clearance vehicles.

Staffing 

 (approx. 2100 Saturday - 0930 Sunday)

Staffing start times will vary based on the overall pace of the race.  Check with Command before staffing the first shift.  Staff can generally leave 30 minutes after the last runner has passed.  There is a 0900 Sunday cut off at the checkpoint.  This time is very generous and no runners should proceed after this time.
