AuburnFJR just posted our route and spotwalla link on another post. I did not want to gum that one up with a route question. So:
For those intrepid explorers out there, I need some advice. Our route has a stretch of gravel in it on a road called CR-1668. It looks to be roughly 12 miles in length in the Capital Reef NP/Grand Staircase area. It is SE of Boulder Utah and the stretch lies between Boulder and Hwy 276.
Gravel doesn't particularly bother us, but there are mixed reports on this stretch. Some state FJR's have been known to go through and even, gasp, Hardly Movingsons. Other sources say it has deep sand in places, clay, and treacherous when wet. I don't know these people, so I am looking for opinions here.
Bottom line, we want to take this route and intend to take it at this point. First hand experience/references would be sweet.
