Closed at FR 2324 from Randle side and closed at FR 2325 from Troutlake side.

Does this mean that you can access 2324? The website I saw said it was closed at 2322.

Sneakyjake, is that a 4 stroke kohler or honda? We have the older chrysler powerbee motor, curious how the engine is on the newer ones.

Its tough to get into some places up there with the road work but should be fine come the opener.

:yeah: I was shocked when they did that a few years ago. Dusty mess though.

Post by: Turdle on August 21, 2018, 11:45:17 PM: Best way out of Randle, paved to Adams fork, then thru Orr crk, and up and over. Or there is the short cut up sheep crk rd, but its a goat trail. Just spent a week up there, lots of lost, turned around people. But we did see a new Nissan ultama make it up thru sheep crk. Out of packwood on Johnson crk is major washboard. And it is busy up there...

Post by: sneakyjake on August 30, 2018, 03:39:36 PM: It’s a Kohler. Hasn’t skipped a beat in over a decade. Wouldn’t mind finding a mechanic in the Lakewood area that could help me with some of bigger items. Looking forward to next week.
