The road into this collecting area. . . . If you look closely, you may be able to see slight dips in this two track road. The dips are really dry stream beds crossing the road and some of them are rather deep. You probably could make it in a two wheeled drive vehicle, but four wheel drive is always better if your going in solo! |
