Ha! As you know, that fence just ends a few hundred yards to the north, so it would be easy to wander into the restricted area without GPS.
It sounds like you guys got out there without too much difficulty. I recall a section on Owl Hole Spring Road - not sure if it was just before the Owl Lake area or just before Lost Lake - where there was still a bit of paved road but erosion around it made it narrow and a little sketchy. Do you remember that spot and if it posed any problems for you? I am considering heading out there this weekend.

I’m wondering if the hurricane flushed out some of the loose gravel that might have made the climb difficult. 50/50 if you prefer rock steps over gravel. I was advised I needed a rear locker going up but never even spun a wheel.
I drive something similar to Brice (white '21 TRD OR, 3" lift w/ 33s), so when I saw your video I though I was looking at a negative reality inversion. I do recall it being rocky - not sure if that big boulder was there or not - but I don't think I used anything more than 4WD low.
