The blues are closed...

It looks like the 64 and Skyline are all closed. Can you even get up to Chase Mt or Godman or Paige?

No, not right now but from what I was told they will reopen.

When ? have you heard anything special ? The last i saw was that the skyline was closed from the forest boundary south. Is there an update ?

Still closed and closed at touches corral coming from the other way.

No but when I was talking with the bio he said that talking with the fs that those roads would more than likely be open for archery season. They will open those roads long before the wilderness. He said more than likely all the roads surrounding the wilderness will be open by archery season just not the wilderness.

So what you are saying is that they will open the 46 rd? on the map it is closed as well as everything to the east. Just wondering.

[growler]

When you say archery season do you mean the 12 th or the 5 th when our permits start?

I don't know an exact date I just know that between the rain they got yesterday and the rain they are hopefully gonna get this week hopefully that will be enough to open the roads and NF.

Better hope for more rain in a hurry. Today's InciWeb comments on yesterday's rains were pretty bleak:

" Yesterday’s rain was sparse over most of the fire area and did not penetrate the tree canopy. Fire will still be active, finding its way through heavier fuels."

I'm praying for a lot of rain, never have I wanted rain so bad in my life as I do right now!

Wednesday-Saturday look like rain! Hopefully it drenches!

I drew a Dayton archery cow tag. I emailed WDFW and asked if they close the NF down if they will refund my points. I was told that as long as there is a single opportunity in the unit to hunt that no points will be returned. For my tag in particular this is a bunch of crap as the private land in the Dayton unit is all part of elk area 1010 and the rainwater property does not allow the harvest of cow elk. So the "Dayton" cow tag is really only for the are that is NF. If it's all closed off how am I to hunt that? Anyway, what am I crying for it's just a cow tag the Bull tag holders are the ones who have the right to be pissed. I just think that if they are going to be that hard nosed about a cow tag who knows what they will do for the bull tag guys.

You know they do not like giving money back ...Hope it works out and you get to hunt ...

That's a points taker hunt choice IMO. I agree with everything you stated.
