Raff and I drove up the previous evening and had breakfast the next morning. Celestine Lake Road was not too bad to drive. The small creek crossing had a layer of mats (maybe an inch of water flowing over top) put in so driving it was easy. Perhaps access was improved to help with fire fighting efforts.
