USFS Website Changes
bigtex:
Expect less current/up to date info on federal websites. The feds have fired and quit hiring many positions, in many agencies the first ones to go were those customer service, visitor service positions. They weren't deemed necessary. Good tiime to be a fed LEO, bad time to be just about every other federal employee.

USFS website info has been undependable for many years in my experience.

I honestly can’t say I’ve ever looked at their website
If I’m interested in a road trail or area
I go scout it

Based on Pres Trump and Elon's anti-woke/dei commitments, DOGE purged a ton of federal websites.
The forest service lost a whole bunch of pages a month or so ago. Webpages about fire resilience forestry that mentioned climate change- gone. Forest canopy and species diversity- could have been pulled down for "diversity"
Honestly....you might be seeing this as a result of "accessibility" being on the bad word list that bounced around the federal government as "woke".
Depends who you ask where the blame lies: DOGE computer nerds using a chainsaw on things they don't understand. Fearful over compliance by federal workers worried they'd be at risk if they didn't do exactly what they were told, or malicious over compliance because the order was overly broad and vague.
But yes, FS websites are swiss cheese these days

I normally respect all of your input bigtex, BUT, like the comment below yours, the OWNF has been a TERRIBLE NF and website for years. The layoffs have ZERO to do with this issue.
