The last wild flower bloom(not this year, 5 or so years back), a buddy and I only had a 2wd Tacoma at our disposal. The back roads we were used to (out to Butte Valley, for instance), which aren't all that bad were a challenge and we opted to play safe.
Any time of year, parts of DV back country are not to be taken lightly. You may not see anyone for days if something goes wrong.
- Gargoyle 10y agoThe key thing is knowing when to turn around. I've taken some drives out into the Mojave and Death Valley that weren't all that smart in a 2wd sedan, but I also turned around the instant the road made me feel uncomfortable. And I had a couple pallets of bottled water in my trunk, but I always do. Calculated risks. Still, it can be really hard to turn around when you're far enough in to be "committed" to the road. Sunk costs and all that.
