Zen,

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I've been out of town and off the net for awhile.

The deterioration of the road in the last 10 years is mind boggling, due to a complete lack of maintenance and very little use. After the first mile and a half it's just a trail, and not a road in any sense. Culverts or bridges in both creek crossings are long gone, and the first creek crossing is frankly dangerous.

Having said that, the only other sign of recent use was that of a trail bike. Whoever did it had their work cut out for them navigating the deadfall across the trail/road and the first creek crossing. Whoever it was didn't try the second creek crossing and it looks like they made camp in the road bed itself just before it.

Nature has really been at work on the old road, it will be interesting to see it again in another 10 years at the present level of light use and no maintenance.
