Alex,
I'm afraid we did NOT make it over Steel Pass. We came down from the Death Valley Road from Big Pine. Being denied entry via Steel Pass we backtracked on the Eureka Dune road to the D.V. Road and passed Crankshaft Jct. and on down to Ubhebe Crater Road and the Racetrack Road from the northeast. Never again. We never got to the Racetrack as we turned south at TeaKettle Jct. to Hidden Valley and all the mines in the area. We also beat it over Hunter Mountain which still had snow on the ground in patches and came out near Darwin after being on dirt for 3 days.

Thanks for clearing that up about Steel Pass, did it become too narrow for your rigs? As for the Racetrack,it's really worth the time to make it out there.
