Title: The Gates are all still Locked
Post by: Chris on September 28, 2011, 10:28:27 AM: I drove between Vader and PeEll this morning checking the gates and looking for deer. They are all still locked. I was told by a Werehaeuser driver that due to vandalism they were considering not opening many or even all of the gates. I hope he was pulling my leg. I guess time will tell.

Does anyone have the scoop on this?

They also put a new gate on forks creek and put a red dot on it. A line is also shut and red dotted. I imagine they will keep all of them locked. It was for archery season.
