FYI,

Those of you thinking of going up to Springer for New Years Eve .

My friend and I ran FS 42 from Cooper Gap Rd. all the way to Doublehead Gap Road last night(Christmas Eve) in my old Toyota 2WD truck without incident. 90% has been recently graded and a generous layer of crusher run applied and graded. The road is in excellent condition with very few spots with standing water and the fewest number of rough rocky outcrops I think I've ever seen on that road in the past 25 or so years. We were looking for a little adventurous driving but were miserably disappointed. Not even any icy patches to slide around on! You can get to Springer in either direction even in your father's Oldsmobile and you won't drag the mufflers off it...It'd take more nasty weather than predicted to mess the road up enough for an enjoyable night of slip slidin' in the mountains. so, if you plan to come up, bring it on!
