Post by: dreamunelk on August 02, 2018, 07:25:46 AM: Foresters and security staff. Talked to one who is angry because people are taking down the signs. He thinks bear hunters since they started disappearing on the 31st. The norther area may be a little more open. That will change.

I work for one of those companies. Haven't heard anything about closures. I'll check into it more this morning.
