Norman and I took the pick-up for a little ride south of our campspot. It was great fun...although slow going. The paved road turned to gravel and got narrower and narrower. Then it became just a jeep trail with rocks of all sizes. It followed along a wash here and there and went up into the hills eventually coming out about where we started. A couple times we had to get out and rearrange the roadway, pile medium-sized rocks next to large ones OR roll some out of our way. We only bottomed out once, when we went over a crest on the trail (well, we high-centered...hee-hee). Other than get the pickup reeeaally dirty, we only broke the license plate cover. One of our group couldn't believe we made it over the trail until he saw the picture of our pickup next to an old Dodge Powerwagon military vehicle.
