Getting around

There is no convenient public transportation. Rideshare programs exist but are not robust enough to have truly "on-demand" service. Road maintenance is good in the area, but it is highly recommended that you have 4x4 when traveling in winter. There is a gravel driveway about 1/4 mile long. You won't need 4-wheel drive unless you go off the gravel - which you shouldn't.
