I want to add my $.02 to Denis's comments and it was such a beautiful clear day, I just couldn't stop taking pictures.
That steep grade sure is a lot easier if the car is doing the work.

Today after checking a new road and checking with the loggers we found our way to the top of Mt Prevost and the war memorial, also done some looking around at the top and seen where they para sail from , The view was outstanding , we drove most of the way and only had to walk a little but step it was!! The road was not too bad but wet and muddy as depicted by the two vehickles that we went in. tks Bill & Ed. Next week we will do a local walk, but on 17th we will do our annual bike ride in Victoria, okay? C.U. Tks
