If you were able to limp a HC 4x4 up the Howell FSR, you may as well drive this road for ~1.5 km to the creek crossing. The culvert is still sitting there, but all gravel and organics have washed away (culvert should have been removed when road was given back to the crown). After that there is a significant washout at ~3 km. The last 1 km of road is an old mining road with grades reaching 30%. We climbed "Fuel Peak" (Peak 2557) from ~3 km
