Oops sorry saw my answer above

I drove up to Guffy a few days ago and noticed there's a gate across the road going down to Lupine. Does anyone know if that gate will be opened soon? Is it possible it's closed permanently (I hope not!)?

BTW, it was gorgeous up there, with north blown snow and ice coating the trees.

It usually opens memorial day weekend

I just returned from a drive and Blue Ridge Road is closed at the hwy. I guess I wasn't quick enough to get out there on a drive.

I do not know who closed the gate but I did contact the fire station at Big Pines and they have reopened the gate.

...I've heard stories that people who may be up to no good and don't want to be disturbed will close the gate behind them....maybe also place their own lock on the gate...

Yes, the gate was open yesterday as well as Hwy 2 is now open all the way through to La Canada. As far as the gate down to Lupine and Slover, there was storm damage that was never repaired so the gate will remain closed until the damage is repaired. No dates that we've heard of.

The road is scheduled to be repaired and opened by the first or second week of June.

The ANF and SBNF Dispatch links at the top of the page don't appear to be working. They may have changed the IP address again. Here is the link you can follow for Dispatch and Resource Information:

I was up at Inspiration Point this morning and noticed the "CLOSED" sign that was duct taped over the Lupine and Cabin Flat sign was torn off and lying on the ground. Does that mean the road is now open?

Toolman · « **Reply #136 on:** Jun 07, 13, 01:36:53 PM »

If Bob opened the gate and removed the temporary closed sign and through it on the ground, I'd have to write him up.

It's been up for awhile, the wind probably blew it off. When the road does open, motorized vehicles are still prohibited beyond Lupine. Hike in only and no fires allowed in Cabin Flat.

Goody2shz · « **Reply #137 on:** Jun 07, 13, 03:10:37 PM »

I was there Wednesday and the sign was firmly attached. There was lots of duct tape on it. I'm just hoping this means the road is open......

RobertW · « **Reply #138 on:** Jun 07, 13, 06:06:04 PM »

I've been told by the Forest Service person in charge of getting that road open that it would probably be closer to the end of the month before the road is cleared.

I'll be out tomorrow and will be checking on it.

Great! Let us know what you find.
