El Chupacabra Course Notes (2019):
Remember, this is technically unsupported and you are on your own. However, we want you to have an awesome time. 90% of the turns were marked with Hot Pink spray paint arrows on Friday; however, between weather and traffic some may wear off.
I drove the course on Friday morning and only saw a handful on vehicles. Most of the course was smooth and fast. There are a couple thick/fresh gravel sections due to the long winter. The most significant part was right after mile 38. Please use caution and be safe!
There are 3-4 times you will cross over a paved road at a 2-way stop. Be smart and use caution.
