Yet road rough lots pots holes many still frozen I i Current Conditions Saturday, December 07, 2019
Still some patches of ice and snow much cooler up there. I only made $1.20 from empty beer cans. Normally in the summer I make $20. Road is getting soft so please spread your tracks out. Hoping to get some funding to plow the road and grade it. The GOFUNDME page did get much. Let’s hope things come through. But at best spread your tire tracks out wether gravel or snow. If everyone spread out there tracks in the snow it would be a great compact snow ice road would need to plow it. Carry chains be prepared to use them. And please always park you car facing out and down makes it easier to get going if snows over your trip. Easier to get traction on a little down hill. Please remember CELL PHONES DONT WORK IN THE PARK. Have a trip plan stick to it. Don’t leave wallets or valuables in car. Many cars have been broken in to and cards used while people at cabins. Stay safe. Pack out what you take in. Wives take your husbands out too.

Tet road. Power poles that were on road been removed Current Conditions Saturday, November 30, 2019
There is still risk of water damage to road at 5km lots of water running down from powerline now frozen river. Watch for many water bars to bad I was almost going to get ready to plow road again. But thanks to all the water bars snow plow can’t make it through them with out tearing cutting edges off blade. Never needed water bars before why now.

Fresh snow on the hills Current Conditions Monday, November 25, 2019
Just a dusting but let’s hope get more if you are going up to Dakota winter tires and have chains ready to use. Lots of water bars in the road now. Use headlights slow down road narrow and often you and oncoming traffic may have to drive down wrong side of road. Can get very icey. I should have used chains.

Tet road plowing Current Conditions Saturday, November 09, 2019
I set up a gofundme page to raise money to help me plow and upkeep the road. I have been plowing for years mostly out of my own pocket. Can’t afford to keep doing it with out your help. It costs around $2000 a month. If I can’t raise enough I won’t be able to plow. The is greatly over grown might be able to get brush mower up there clean it up.
