Title: Current gate status in the Margaret?
Post by: Camo on July 12, 2011, 06:02:13 PM: I haven't been in the Margaret in about 10 years and I need to re-acquaint myself before this fall. I understand most of it is gated and definitely gated during fire season. I am thinking of getting down there this next weekend. As far as closed gates, is there any advantage to going now versus later in the summer? Or is everything locked up now? Does the main line (2500 I think) stay open until fire closure?
Thanks for any help.

I have a cow tag in the Margaret unit this fall and will also need to get in there and do some scouting. Let me know if you want to hook up.
