The good news is that there is a washout on Starke's about a half mile past Campini Road, and that you can traverse it easily while walking your bike. Here's the GoogleEarth location file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i932ys1beu...shout.kmz?dl=0 So there are virtually no cars on Starke's due to the washout. There is no bad news. Looks like fun. https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Place...e0?hl=en&hl=en But Newton Road isn't what I'd consider fun. Especially since so many folks in Placerville now openly consume pot. Gimmee singletrack and I'm happy.

I don't know, probably an allergy sufferer. I never use dust masks. However, it is prudent not to ride this close together. The dust kicked up by the rider in front in this area often contains natural asbestos and sometimes fungus that can trigger the nasty valley fever.
