Notches and Gaps???

Can anyone tell me if all the gaps and notches are mini-van user friendly?

If you can include Kelly Stand Road, Big Branch (Forest Service Road #10) and Hazens Notch, that would be helpful.

I did the Lincoln Gap a couple of years ago and my van had some moments! :?

I did Hazen's Notch in 2005 and Lincoln Gap in 2006. Hazens was fine, and perhaps a little less steep than Lincoln Gap. I was driving a 4-wheel drive Durango in 05, but it didn't appear to me that a car would have any problems.

If it sounds too good to be true, its probably . . . .

Andy: I'll try Hazen's Notch, Middlebury and Brandon Gaps. That should keep me busy for awhile!

I'll save Kelly Stand and Appalachian Gap for next year!

If anyone does some Gaps and Notches before my mid-October trip I'd be happy to hear about your adventures!
