Road Blockage
Our plans to explore Johns Canyon was literally blocked. Not that we didn't try to get around them. Curt was convinced he could road build the area, marked by the Flickr note, up enough to support the driver's side of the Jeeps. He spent a good hour stacking rocks and packing dirt. In the end, he did come up with something that might have worked, but if it failed, the Jeeps would have been destroyed in the fall. You'd still have to climb over the large rock in the foreground.
In the end, Curt put his Jeep's front driver tire on the patch / wall he built, sort of as a proof of concept. It did hold weight, but I wasn't convinced it'd hold up to driving over it.
Since John's Canyon is an out and back, we'd have to reverse the route, something neither one of us wanted to do, so we moved on to safer explorations.
