Buffalo Peaks Road - 431

There was a gate which closed the road literally right after the turn off to the campground. There was no signage prohibiting hikers/bikers (bikers of any kind), both of which would be easily able to go around the gate. There was no way to open the gate (closed with a lock) and forest service truck was nearby (unoccupied and no one around). They had been clearly doing a lot of road maintenance though. I decided to go around since there were no signs explaining anything or prohibiting anybody. Traveled about 2 miles up the road and ran into a dude on his tractor, grading the road. Turned around and decided to explore the little offshoot from 431 (road 432) and WOW what a gorgeous road! There are lots of branches and options from this road - potentially hours of exploring gorgeous trails on the dirtbike!! Stunning scenery. Would've loved to stay and play longer.
