I guess we knew this was coming but it's sad.
I just confirmed by phone with the USFS Huachua ranger district that they will be closing the Coronado National Forest at noon on Thursday. The gate across the road to the Carr campground (and our access to the Miller launch) will be locked.
I also received an email from Rebecca Hodges in that office that the National Get Outdoors day event at Parker Canyon lake is cancelled, for the same reason.
This closure is until further notice, which I assume means until after the first significant rainfall or two.
Update: The information I have is that this is a forest-wide closure, which would include our Miller, Mt. Lemmon, Whetstones, and Box Canyon sites. All lie within the boundaries of the Coronado N.F.
The Mustangs are on B.L.M. land and are not affected by this closure order.
