Like I said before, it wasn't really closed. The gate is closed on the SR87 side, but not on the Punkin Center side...if you ran it, you'd have to come back out the way you went in.

The Bushnell tanks gate was still closed when I drove by it this past weekend, and has been for a couple years now. I've even asked at the USFS and no one will really say why. The fire was 3 years ago for crying out loud....
