roads still closed in 340?

[nitro]

Just wondering if anyone has been in unit 340 lately and if the roads are still closed? If so are they going to open them up before rifle elk season or not?

The best advice is that you need to look at the USFS website for the Cle Elum Ranger District. It will show you where all the roads are closed as the list is many and will be detailed with all of the closure points. All I can say is that getting into the Manastash will be extremely difficult unless you are thinking about coming in on all the motorcycle/horse trails that weave through the unit or a mountain bike. According to the head USFS Ranger for the Cle Elum District, the roads will be closed until the spring of 2012. I'm interested to see how many guys will still head over not knowing that the roads are still closed.

The weekend warriors will be cruising up the Taneum creek to the 3330, get to the junction and see the barriers.  Man that's gonna throw them for a loop.

I was up Taneum last weekend.  Pretty darn limited.  We had to go thru Joe Watt Canyon to get up in there.  Rough ass road, I won't be taking my camper up that one.

No kidding the joe watt is certainly not camper/RV friendly.

I blew a baseball size hole thru the top of my tranny up Taneum last year, my season was over the first day of rifle last year.  Switched back to archery for good, figured rifle season is bad luck for me.  haven't killed an elk in washington state yet.
This could be the year with this Bull Tag.
