Road to great shape to turn off to Klitsa spur (as far as I went).
Passed a grader on my way back.
Not gated midweek (unlike most of the southern island).
Added more reports. Took Ash to Stirling to Gracie to Nahmint on the way in (as directed by Apple Maps).
On the way out I missed the turn off for Ash and took Canal -- that worked well too.
