it's been a while and i was wondering the current conditions of the road to motherlode. i have a new honda fit (similar to civic). do you think it will make it out of there without getting beat up?
I bottomed out in my 97 maxima a few weeks ago, but it wasn't that bad. A fit seems risky to me, as there's some serious high/low spots midway, and that's a newer, nicer vehicle.
Last Thursday the road to Muir was in good shape with new large gravel. Rick said he was getting more gravel the next day - Friday. It did rain though, so you might want an official response from him or someone who has been there since.
I have a '94 rear-wheel drive Q45 that made it down to and up from to the Drive-By lot. I was prepared to leave it at the lot and report it stolen to the insurance if I could not get it back up. You'll be fine, just gun it dodge the low points.

I see a lot of "normal" cars down there, so I guess people are getting them in and out. But, one thing to remember: Do not park at the top of the hill!
