There's less gravel here on Gold Valley Road, so I seem to have better traction, but I'm expecting the road to be steeper than Greenwater Valley Road.
Gold Valley Road is a dead-end. It rises from 3000 feet elevation here to about 4700 feet before dropping down into Gold Valley on the other side of the mountains, where it ends near Willow Spring. There is probably drinkable (if filtered) water there.
It's already getting close to 17h, and it's going to be more slow uphill on a dirt road (and I'm getting tired--imagine that!), so I don't know if I'll make it to Gold Valley or not. But the excitement keeps me pushing onward.
