Now I want to go try it! Sounds lovely.
Anyone know of UNPAVED roads that cross the Sierra? Are there any???

Can you get a MVUM? I was quite frustrated in Montana last summer because they had no MVUM for the area of chief interest to me. I was able to get a less detailed map from the forest service but in order to have a full coverage of all legal tracks, one needs MVUMs.
The problem with Google maps is two-fold. Obviously, you first need to get out of that map mode and use satellite mode so you can see what is out there. Then, however, problem 1 is that it does not differentiate legal/illegal. So you need to find a way to verify what is open. Problem 2 is that Google shows PLENTY of tracks that are not only closed, but do not even exist anymore!
I had set my eyes on two Montana tracks as quite interesting, of which one turned out to be gated and the other one turned out to have long been abandoned, it had actual trees on it, not merely brush.
