its on the map, and here is google earth kml link (list will strip it, but you will get it Paul)




It is in a logged area, but the view is nice.

2wd would be ok. I find the G gear on the syncro a boon in some spots just so that I can go a little slower up the steeper parts of the roads, but for sure reg 2wd vanagon would do it no prob.
