In most places it is paved.  Not all paved.  Still long sections are gravel.  
SWMBA drove up, then a round trip to SEA.  The biggest issue is getting the car 
to light off at -40c of a winter.  Paired with a duovalve with a mind of its 
own as to when hot is called for, no matter which season.  AC does blow cold

I did consider that, but she had extensive tin worm when I got her, required 
lots of renovation to get really roadworthy (She lived on a small island for 15 
years), and though very capable of traversing WA, ID, MT and into ND, in the 
middle of February, in a blizzard for a few hundred miles, then turn around and 
do the return all within seven days.  I think SWMBA would have me shot, the HOA 
would not allow the car to be parked outside, and there are not enough parts 
available for me to keep her on the road here.  Nor are there qualified 
mechanics.  The dealer is bad with morons for techs

Not his car. 
He went to "Vegas Mike" and borrowed the cheapest car in his collection, a 
shiny new RENNtech CL600.
I guess that makes Mike filthy rich. 
If his haircut is better than yours, well...___
