just a little update, we have sent about 500 yards of concrete up there. I am loading 6 trucks now and they seem to be working hard up there. I heard one   of the construction guys had a rattler bite him.

Thanks yobtaf. That's interesting stuff.  I just called CalTrans today - got a very nice, very patient guy who told me they were 'getting a lot of calls' about when the road would open...He didn't have a firm date, though.  Sometime in the next few weeks...

He also said the forest service is not in a hurry for it to open, of course, because it will make keeping people out of the forest a bit difficult.

Hope so. I can understand not wanting people in the forest right now - how about a "secret" re-opening, where they only tell nature geeks like us? I don't mean to be elitist, but wouldn't it be nice if the only folks up there were the "leave no trace" behind type?
