The Forest Service is taking this inpending "Special Closure" very seriously. Violation of 36 CFR 261.53(e) can result in a minimum fine of $75. For those who think this is a great opportunity for the Forest Service to bring much needed $$$ into our Big Pines area, fees received via 36 CFR 261 citations go into a big USFS "kitty" in Washington. Only monies aquired by Adventure Passes and "Notice or Required Fee" citations are returned to the area where the Passes were obtained or the "NRFs" were written.

New signs installed at Jackson Lake. Must have been in the last 36 hours as I did not see them on Wednesday.

I guess I hoped that they would have added: "Danger, Danger, thin ice." to that sign. But, at least folks are warned about snow play. Here's hoping it works.

I think there is also a duty to warn about no cell service down there...

I suppose we have gone 'that far' down the nanny state path
