2. Access Road
   Runs from the red gate on Ortega highway to the sign boards at the entry to the community.
   - Drive carefully.
   - Watch for rocks after rain.
   - Pull over for faster traffic (there are plenty of turnouts).
   - Escort large vehicles of non residents (1/4 mile ahead, flag down oncoming traffic).
   

3. Interior roads
   These are our community "streets".
   - Maximum speed is 15mph.
