Title: Gifford FS Rd 25
Post by: FANATIC on June 07, 2011, 08:25:03 AM: Anyone been down to this area yet? Just wondering if the 25 rd is open and how far. The FS website hasent been updated since early May. I was thinking about heading down next Friday to check it out, but was hoping for a road report first.

There is a lot of timber between here and 3000' ;) They sure seem to like the green grass growing in the valley now. :tup:
