@cvvhrn How was the drive back there? I've been thinking about doing a few of those rougher roads (in my 4wd 4Runner) one of these days.

@ai6yr I I got there using my bone stock 2016 MDX on street tires. I did air down and had a full set of recovery gear and 2 weeks of food/water. The MDX has 7.5 inches of clearance so it was marginal. One spot was a bit of a challenge but otherwise it was fine. I am not an expert but has some off road experience. I highly recommend it. I quite enjoyed myself. I think with a 4 Runner your should be fine. Beyond Barker I did venture a bit past but (I knew already before I left but wanted to check it out) it was pretty much impassable in my vehicle. However, it looks like a fun road, goes over the Manley Pass and down South of Badwater

@ai6yr It was a blast. I did get an odd vibe from the place that I could not shake and after I left I went to Manzanar and was one of the few people there so it was kind of a day filled with evil I guess

@BakerRL75 @ai6yr Yeah I know what you mean. I have never been so troubled I'm my life visiting that place. I still cannot shake this marker in the main cemetery Born in captivity, died in captivity all in one day
