I was talking to a buddy that was in the area scouting. He had told me that Rock creek road and Gold creek roads are washed out just up from 410 and that they dont plan of repairing them before the season. Anyone else have any truth to that? If its true, A heads up to you. Might have to get in the back way.

If you dispprove of the decision not to open the road write the district ranger and voice your concern. Not that it helps alot but every little input doesn't fall on deaf ears.

This is true. I talked to the forest circus ranger while i was out scouting the area and he confirmed that the funding is not there and they would be searching for grants to fix the roads but not this year as funding will not be secured there are a few other roads affected by these same closures like Milk Lake road and a few others i can't remember the numbers. Darn mother nature anyway

sounds like a good area to mountain bike into and get away from the crowds

Does anyone know where the washout is on the Rock Creek Road or where it is barricaded?

Holy crap. If it's washed out at that little creek then I can't imagine what it looks like up at the 6-ish and 8-ish mile markers. There could be a couple hundred feet of road missing. Oh dear lord.

From what I can gather from a bunch of posts there is ALOT maybe even a record amount of washouts. From what I've heard the Taneum road and the roads that lead up to Buck Meadows, Lost Lake and Quartz Mountain are all washed out (can't remember the roads name
) Sounds like that area is for all intents and purposes a Wilderness Area. Same thing goes for the Gold Creek Road and Rock Creek Road. Another Wilderness area. And from what I understand the road leading up the Little Rattlesnake is also washed out. AKA another Wilderness area.
I am all for some road closure (Tiny spurs that lead nowhere sort of like veins) but I hate to see these main roads closed off. Its never good for these arteries to be closed off like this. I really feel for the guys that have hunted these areas for 30-40 years. Alot of traditions are going to be lost this year. Especially for the old timers and the disabled that can't walk in 5 miles to still access their old hunting grounds. My heart goes out to alot of people this year. Hopefully our state can scrounge up some funds to repair them or maybe some private guys with equipment will donate their time and gear to reopen them. I'm sure some people will quit hunting this year because of this which is EXTREMELY unfortunate. This is truly a bad situation.

Talk about bad news,
I agree this will cause lots of issues with people not being able to get the their normal spots. But for the guys that hunt up there, I am sure they know the back ways in to Rock Creek and Gold Creek. You would still be able to come up the 1701 and get there from the top.
On the other hand maybe it will cut down on the traffic in these areas and provide some great hunting for those that are willing to put the miles in..
I for one know Rock Creek was a great deer hunting spot a few years back.

Excuse my ignorance here....where exactly are these roads? Are they up a major FS road system (70, 72, ect?) or separate roads directly off hwy 410? If off hwy 410 between Enumclaw-Greenwater, or Greenwater-Crystal?
