Mile 3.1
Black Hole turn
At the Black Hole's large semicircular wall, the marked route goes around the top rather than into the bowl.
Before you continue
Find the chevrons around the top before moving. Do not treat the bowl as an open play area.
What catches people
The formation looks drivable and old tire marks can be more visually obvious than the legal route.
Conditions change it
Sand and glare can obscure painted marks.
Fit
Main-route vehicle requirements; restraint and route reading are the key skills.
