365 and 8 are quite pretty roads, and not especially hard to follow, and generally in decent repair. There are some grades and (particularly on the eastern end of 8) some rather twisty bits. I've traveled over them many times by car and a couple of times by motorhome. If you go that way, keep an eye out for the "elephant rock" on the south side of route 8 somewhere around Graphite, and maybe also pull off at the Hague Brook access just outside of downtown Hague (as much as there is a downtown) and walk a short trail up to a pretty little waterfall.
