How true.
Dean, I have an update for your road description. This road is in seriously bad shape. I'm not sure if you've heard about my recent trip or not (I emailed you), but this road was by far the worst approach road of the entire trip. I have 8.5 inches of clearance on my Subaru and we barely made it to the Onion Valley reservoir. Due to large exposed rocks and obviously new washouts, this road is now only suitable for Jeeps or trucks.
Interestingly Google Maps shows a different road coming in from the east side and Theodore Basin (41.720759, -118.682005) and I suspect this might now be a better way to drive in. But who knows until someone tries it, right?
