Woods vicinity are open and in
good condition with exception of
the east side summer home road
which is being repaired by forest
service crews.
The Dead Indian road is in
good shape as far as the county
line, but the portion that lies
within Klamath county is re
ported to be rough. Klamath
county graders are at work on it.
The road from Dead Indian to
Fish lake by way of Big Elk is
now open but the forest service
said it is rough and muddy.

the Siskiyou summit road are

logs down on the road.
