Comments
Comments: This report is mainly to mention the conditions on the Class VI portion of Tarlton Rd. leading the parking area.

The beginning of the road is rough and washed out; the conditions change every spring. I carefully got down to the parking area in a regular-clearance car but high-clearance is recommended for an easier time.

There have been mentions in past Epsom Conservation Commission meeting minutes that the road will be improved and the parking expanded, but I have no idea on when these projects might happen.
