Sherwood Road

fun day out on the trail with lots of mud and some fairly deep puddles. coming from willits, the last gate going into fort Bragg was closed. when we got there. we thought we were going to have to drive back the entire way to willits. but then we talked to the friendly, helpful, but slightly scary man. living in the woods about a half mile before the last gate and he told us it was unlocked. I guess he just keeps it closed to protect his camp.

drove up the road and the gate was closed next to a property with run down fithwheel trailers and junk cars everywhere. not sure if it was really closed or someone just closed the gate?

Willits to Fort Bragg. Going this direction once you get on the dirt its fairly tame just VERY rough dirt and rock road till you get to the halfway point. We went right after a rain and I really regret not listening to previous reports on here. At about the half way mark the clay mud and ruts start to appear around almost every corner. The direction we went there is a very wet off camber uphill left that slid us into the bank on left side and got us stuck for a few minutes till we got traction boards out. Right after that there is a horribly rutted very steep very mushy tight uphill left that gave us some issues. We picked the wrong time in the end. Not recommended when wet. When you see the tweaker trailer and broken dodge the fun is either over or about to begin depending on direction of travel. In the end I feel like I just beat up the truck and did not enjoy much because mud and 1000ft cliffs isn’t very fun lol. Would not go out of my way to do again.

Traveled from Fort Bragg. First 10 miles were the most challenging.
