The climb up the mountains from Dry Creek on Mericumbine Fire Trail is quite steep in a few
places. Last time there it took ages to get the the valley. We (and another group) got held up by a few cars in front who didn't have a clue and worst of all wouldn't listen to anyone about how to drive up steep inclines. So we just sat and waited while they winched the inexperienced (being nice here) drivers up.
I drove down that area once in a hail storm. Or should I say we slipped down it. As usual the storm came in without warning. Dry Creek can flood so we, not having any camping gear and not wanting to stay the night, pressed on.
Watch the clouds when there. Storm have a habit of arriving without any fanfare.
