Title: Hancock closure!
Post by: Swatson on August 14, 2012, 10:32:49 AM: Welcome to the 2012 Recreation Access Web Site!

Effective tonight, August 14th, all areas will close due to extreme fire danger. They will not open until there has been significant rainfall. Please refer to our website for updates.

Day passes are now available for one-day non-motorized access for White River Forest and Snoqualmie Forest. See Purchase Permits under either forest area on the left side of your screen.
Please see the Frequently Asked Questions or use the Contact Us tab in the upper right of your screen if your questions are not answered.

After purchasing your permit, please check your confirmation email for the link to your permit. Print out a copy of your permit to sign and carry with you.

I'm just glad that I'm not living where i USED to live out of Eburg....I'd BET that the cabin is GONE. Looking for photos to confirm.
