I can't fly to Johnson Creek, can I drive?

I have been looking for info on getting into Johnson creek by wheels. Yellow Pine hosts a harmonica festival that over 3000 people attend, so I am sure it's not too hard to get to. As far as Johnson Creek, nothing stops me on my KTM, but is it like a driving in 4 low jeep trail, rutted washboard gravel, or other?

The roads are fine either way you go. I know for sure that 413 from Warm Lake Rd to Yellow Pine is a nicely graded dirt road most of the time. Not a problem with any normal car. Just don't take Homies lowrider to JC :D

I have been wanting to get back to that area on my dualsport for a while now. I think I can make it maost of the way from Chelan Wa to Johnson Creek with very little riding on pavement. Comes out to about 690 miles. So, probably more than a day for me on my KTM 640, but I have been known to achieve some crazy distances in short amounts of time.

David I think that's a pretty popular dual sport destination. Last year we went into town for a Burger and there was about 10 guys traveling all over the US on dirt roads with dual sports. Looked like a ton of fun.
