Pending: Partial SGW Reopening

[stbrnnr]

Now posted on SBNF Forest Orders site:

“Upcoming Order
El Dorado Fire closure modification to reopen some areas of the San Gorgonio Wilderness and close new potential mud and debris flow areas. (Expected by April 10, 2021).”

I’ll post a follow-up when this revision goes up.  Watch this space!

Haha!  But it looks like the cat’s already outa the bag, Mike–reopening info also now posted on FB sites.  Counting down for posts all over reddit et al.  The permitting process is about to get pounded, i’m afraid.

Irony?  High Creek Camp has long been one place we always avoid due to ridiculous traffic volume and accumulated pollution (sorry, wilderness it really ain’t).  Under this reopening–quadrant block 14 showing as outside the closure and open–it’s now looking like the most remote legal-open campsite in SGW!  (should permits eventually be issued for it, etc….tbd i guess).  i may just have to reassess my prejudices!

Ya.  Reddit is going to go nutz.  Unfortunately, I haven’t posted over there about the wilderness being opened back up.  Just haven’t gotten around to it. 😉

That’s funny about High Creek.  Hadn’t thought about it that way but you’re right.

Snagged a couple permits already.   We’ll see if the road to FC is open in time or not.  Otherwise, the other one is from South Fork for a different weekend.

Hopefully we’ll see you on the trails!
