Here's a link to the news story in The Statesman: http://www.idahostatesman.com/2015/04/03/3733014/forest-service-will-reopen-danskin.html Looks like late May or early June. Hopefully before it gets too hot, like to get back into Fiddler Flats and see what the area looks like now. Might plan a ride once it reopens, keep everyone posted.
Great news. I was afraid I'd never to get to ride there after it was closed. Have seen some great pictures of the area and it looks incredible. Can't wait to go. :fiddy:
Was in mountain home yesterday and saw a couple FS pickups with dirt bikes in the back. They are up to something.
I called and talked to the Mountain Home ranger district a week befor the news article and they estimated a May or June opening.
Not sure if you guys saw this, but they're saying early summer now. I was hoping to go tomorrow. http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3838215.pdf
Came back through there yesterday and it is all still closed off. Probably won't open until it dries out
I called the Mt Home Ranger District last week. The lady I talked to said they were shooting for Memorial Day weekend but it will likely be the middle of June before it opens.
I just spoke with the MHRD. They said there is a bridge that still needs installed. The helicopter scheduled to deliver the bridge was unable to do so due to weather, but is currently scheduled to deliver it on June 12th. If that goes as scheduled, it will be another week or so after that!
Next thunderstorm and I'm there. I must be getting old, not interested in riding anything but a river when it's over 90.
