My idea is free access covering all of Stovepipe Wells. If they were with it, they'd have 811n and 54 Mbs for all users. Makes use of the land lines to bring that in, now that most all have cells.
Sadly, with budget as the reason, they long have had no showers there, or now I think even a water faucet. This forces everyone to obtain lodging, where I surmise there is access. $$$$ for the concessionaires, which helps us all (economy).

A modest 4x4 had to stop there, so the 2wd access has to end before that point. That's a lonely road, so I wouldn't go up it without the usual desert emergency stuff.
The washout in 2004 was extensive, and used the road as the channel, so there is actually a deep pit running parallel to and within the roadbed in places.
