[Ned Tibbits]

I'm sure you've heard, but I just saw yesterday that the Horseshoe Meadows 
road is now open!

Looking at options for Memorial Day weekend, one would be to repeat 2002:

and backpack between Kennedy Meadows to Horseshoe Meadow, and another would 
be to repeat 2004:

http://pcnst.oakapple.net/photo/sc-pct/f/2004-05-28-f11/

between Jawbone Canyon Road and Walker Pass, except day hiking between two 
cars since the water caches
aren't there any more.


Which leads to the relevant dayhiker/section hiker questions:

Is the road to Horseshoe Meadow open/likely to be open for Memorial Day this 
year?

Is the road to Bird Spring Pass repaired yet?   The PCTA shows it badly 
washed out a year ago.
Otherwise it looks like Yellow Jacket spring is it as far as water until 
Kelso Valley Road, a long
hot haul.     Are any of the other roads between Bird Spring and Kelso 
Valley plausible for normal cars?
