Not a total loss. From all the conversations with other drivers about the road conditions, talked to two people who confirmed the road up Snowflake Mine cannot be driven, and backpakers had to start at valley floor to get to Beveridge ghost town 5,000 feet higher. This was the info I was hoping to gain first hand.

We're done. This is one of the longest most isolated roads in California by the way. 67 miles from the paved junctions at each end.

Three years ago I couldn't find the correct canyon mouth at Beveridge, now the roads are a mess. Something not in the cards here.

Took a little walk to get a better view of the ranch. Grey Eagle Mine is in the background dead center on the cliffs.

View down the dramatically scoured Willow Creek Canyon to Saline Valley Dunes and the Salt Lake in the hazy distance. Beveridge is between the two in the mountains to the west.

This one at Willow Creek Canyon was the worst, with big sand humps through the washout. I'm sure we could have made it, but with over 2 hours to get these 27 miles in, it was going from adventuresome to a drag and might get worse.

The aggresive washout reveals old can dumps, now sliding down the bank.

Old ranch on private property, I believe occupied, upstream of Willow Creek Canyon.
