[pct-l] Tehachapi Fire

[Tom Aterno]

Retro,
That is the Piute fire.  It is west of the PCT as far as I can tell,  
and south of Lake Isabella.

The following is the closure info, and does not appear to affect the  
PCT.

Existing Closures and Road Status
On July 1, the Forest Service implemented a Piute Fire Area Closure.  
This area includes all access points west of the Pacific Crest Trail.  
BLM closures include Nichols Peak, Bright Star Wilderness Area, Cortez  
Canyon, Dry Canyon, Jawbone Canyon and Lynch Canyon, Piute Mountain  
Road, Saddle Springs Road, Erskine Creek Road and all routes of travel  
west of the Pacific Crest Trail, are now closed to off highway  
vehicles (OHV). Other road closures include McCray Road from the end  
of the pavement south, and Fawn Drive from the end of the pavement  
south. Further information may be obtained at 661-391-6005. There is  
an area closure in effect for the Piute Mountains from Piute Mountain  
Road at Caliente Creek Road; Saddle Springs Road at Caliente/Bodfish  
Road; Jawbone Canyon Road south of Piute Mountain Road; Roads 29S02  
and 29S03 and Erskine Creek Road at pavement .
