dustytrail: "Will be entering at EP37 soon. I plan to spend the night before at Sawbill. Anybody have an ideal as to the drive time between the two?"
That depends. Are you driving or getting a shuttle?
Shuttle is about 30 min. They are used to driving the gravel roads.
Google Maps calls it at about 45 min. I would say that 45-55 min if you are not used to driving gravel/washboard is probably more realistic.
We haven't met any the last couple times across there, but you should be prepared to meet logging trucks along that route.
Have a great trip!

I've been bikepacking on that stretch twice now and I will say don't be a $$$$ and just drive normal... I can't believe the number of people that are in such a hurry to save 4 minutes.... I'm less concerned about the loggers and more concerned about every suburban hauling multiple canoes going 50+... if people want to drift around corners, just find a sandpit and do it there.

Agreed, I'm not familiar with the roads and like to take it slow. Plus you get to enjoy the area a bit more than white knuckling it around every corner. I came to a stop off the side in one corner because a big van with canoes on trailer was screaming past the other way and they didn't let up one bit
