I would think the NPS would, as you imagine, concentrate on the paved roads, though of course Cal has to tend to 190 and it looks like that got some major damage. The pic of the mud line at the SPW store was heartening - does not look like water damaged the structures or interior. Don't know about the Oasis area though. The North road seems to be relatively low priority, though getting one route or another open to Beatty is a bit higher. Sometimes with closures the 4WD / dirt roads become fun to walk - Titus for example - but if there is a long slog across alluvial fans, e.g. Cottonwood, less exciting. My trip is usually in March and there will probably be enough open by then to get at least some good times in away from roads. At least I hope so!
