Title: satsop 651 gates open?
Post by: MLhunter1 on August 28, 2012, 08:19:36 PM: Anybody know if gates are being closed during this dry spell? Spefically the green diamond gates around matlock. Hate to show up to closed gates. Spots i like to walk are quite a ways in.

Be happy you can access at all as based on some of the industrial fire levels and the potential in the next week or so they can easily say no access.

However, some gates are open just not many. More will open as MF seasons approached. Off course it has not helped that many bear hunters and people scouting have done a good job of disrespecting many of the timber companies. Thanks guy's! Special thanks to those that ride ATV's!

Port Blakely never opens their gates. You will be lucky to even be able to access by foot unless we get some rain. So far you are good for non motorized access but hope for rain. Where you coming from?

I've talked to a few green diamond workers today and none of them could give me an answer of when the gates will open.

I was looking into the 651 unit and was wondering if anyone knows a place to get some good maps of the area? Preferably one that shows ownership
