The road is full of unsigned curves, most of which are off-camber and many of which have unexpected blind elevation changes. Here is one of the few decent YouTube videos. Most of them are about hauntings, killer clowns, druid temples, etc. I suggest you run this one at 2x to get a better feel. Of course, I only was at high speeds in the long section in the middle where there are no houses. BTW, I've never seen as much traffic as this video shows. It is rare to see even one other car in the undeveloped areas. They must have been shooting on a weekend.



BTW, I have a page of mid-70's pictures here.
Splitrock You could go 4 wheeling, or dirt biking all day and not run the same trail twice.

I know Clinton, but grew up in Boonton, Splitrock was much closer to home
