This is not a good developement. Many roads in our area were not repaired after the New Years day flood of 1997, so many have been decommisioned via lack of maintenance. Recent snowpack measurements show our area has 60-70% of average, not a drought, but combined with the early spring that we have had, could prove to be a bad combination.
Other areas of the west are in far worse shape...
Other areas of the west are in far worse shape... Utah, Northern Arizona, Southern Colorado, and New Mexico are all in drought stressed condition, never mind the overstocking. Yep, it sucks all righty. The Forest Service doesn't seem to care either.
