| Jakes Wash Road conditions: Jakes Wash Road is an unmarked dirt road that is normally in pretty fair condition. The first part of the road is currently "wash boarded", but basically in good condition. The rest of the road can be subject to flooding and wash outs. I am basing this on the amount of mud holes I encountered and it had not rained in the area for over two weeks. The road crosses "Jakes Wash" in two places and depending on how soon after a rain you are visiting the area will depend on whether you can cross the wash or not. At the time that I visited Honeymoon Hill, the "wash" was dry and at least 6 feet deep, so keep that in mind if you see water close to the top. |
