John Head Road after Irmaria - Updates?

We're familiar with the road from staying in Catherineberg and I've heard it's pretty much unchanged on the Centerline side. Can anyone update the condition of the unpaved sections down by the North Shore Road? Is it similar to pre-hurricanes or is it a lot worse? I heard it was passable, but I didn't know if that's the way some people might describe it prior to the hurricanes too.

We went down it before the hurricanes and it had been paved most of the way down.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, we are familiar with status of it from our trip last June. I was wondering if the hurricanes had significantly degraded that small unpaved bottom section by the North Shore Road or if it was essentially about the same.

We didn't find it that big of a deal last year, but I know that could have changed. I have moderated amount of experience 4WD'ing across back trails in Colorado, so I'm fine with a little challenge as long as it's not at the "expert" level.
