ROAD CONDITIONS TO SAN JOSEF BAY
HOLBERG ROAD
The Holberg road is slowly being graded in small sections. We have had 3 flat tires on our van this season already! The rocks are sharp, drive slow and carry a GOOD spare tire! We run 10 ply tires, but they have been no match to some of the shotrock…
The road is wash boarded and is mostly loose gravel. The logging should be quiet during the long weekend, but there may be the occasional logging truck.
SHOE TREE KM13
Don’t miss the Shoe Tree at KM13! It’s a little dusty with the dry weather we have been having. The grader has been working this area so DRIVE SLOW!
NE 60 TO HOLBERG
NE 60 from the turn off all the way to NE Main has been NOT BEEN graded and and there are very sharp rocks exposed. We have seen multiple small vehicles with flats in this section the past few days. Drive slow and avoid the bigger rocks. Other sections are still very rough with sharp rock exposed. WFP has recently added some new information signs at the top of the hill. Stop on your way and take a look. We have been driving at very low speeds through this section.
If you encounter a logging truck, be prepared to back up to the last pullout. The shoulders are very steep and soft. Do not attempt to move to the side of the road, you will get stuck. The radio channel for this section is RR 36 until the WFP shop in Holberg. From the shop on to San Jo and Ronning main, the channel is RR 21
SAN JO MAIN
San Josef Main is in pretty good shape overall. Watch for unexpected potholes along this stretch as well as Raft Cove. THE DUST - Has been really bad and visibility was near zero yesterday following 4 vehicles! The journey is 1.5 - 2 hours. TAKE YOUR TIME!
The road to Raft Cove and Cape Palmerston is very rough and getting grown in. Watch out for potholes, some of the potholes are deeper than they appear and can harm lower clearance vehicles. The radio channel for this section of roads is RR 21 from the WFP shop on.
Drive Safe!
