their story we told of William

According to the Umatilla
National Forest office warm
weather the past two weeks
may have led people to believe
that forest roads have opened
up for travel. This is not the
case as the above normal
snow pack still blocks travel
on most roads.
The following is a summary
of conditions on major forest
roads of the Ukiah District:
Western Route No. 53 is
hare pavement from U.S. 395
to Road 5309. From 5309 to
Cutsforth Park there is heavy
snow on the road. Through
travel is not recommended.
Pearson Road No. 54 is
closed on Pearson Creek at the
forest boundary because of
