[From Caro Coco] - There is normally a closed gate at the very beginning of Statlu, but the past few months it has remained open. it was a very smooth drive up until a bit past km 9, where I found what I thought was a deactivation at the time (it was dark). After parking and setting off, I realized that it was small washout that I probably could have driven over in the daylight with company, but oh well! There was another washout not very far in anyway, and the amount of road left would have been too narrow for the Tacoma.
