Dirt road is good washboard with rocks sticking up last mile.
Lake has one large campsite, smaller sites to east and south. After taking bearing to confirm location of hidden summit, group headed up NW slope to saddle west of summit. After all the detouring. With clouds approaching, first 3 left, making it down to mine before rain started. Descent was straight down gully from top to within 5-600 feet of mine, then left to next gully and on down to mine.
