Road Closures

I picked up a copy of the Council newspaper today. Pretty good summary of the damages caused by last weekend's rain and lots of pictures. Road closures in Adams County are numerous. If you plan to venture forth into Washington or Adams or Valley County you should call the local district USFS office first. The Middle Fork of the Weiser River road is closed. The bridge over Boulder Creek (that is the creek and bridge just a hundred yards or so before coming to Cabin Creek Campground) has washed out. There are so many bridges and roads washed out in Adams County that they have to prioritize which ones will be opened first. The Middle Fork of the Weiser road is not high on the priority list so it may not be opened this year. You might be able to access the Cabin Creek area by coming over the top from Donnelly, but there may still be snow covering the road on top. Don't try to travel that route without checking with the USFS on the road's condition or any other forest and county road after what happened last weekend---Bill Betts
