This fact sets my devious mind to work. I would not want to drive a road closed by the NPS, but Inyo County? People routinely drive around the road closed sign going to the Whitney Portal in winter. That is another county road. The Whitney crowd likes to say that the road is not really closed. It means drive at your own risk.
How bad is the North Hwy really? If there are a few spots with debris, our rental SUV should roll over those. What if we get a ticket? It's just part of the cost of doing business.
Also, I called the Inyo County road dept. They didn't know anything either.
