FLOOD, NOT FIRE, CAUSES ROAD CLOSURE IN GILA NATIONAL FOREST
August 25, 2009
MIMBRES, NM--- Portion of Forest Road 150 in Rocky Canyon Impassable Due to Heavy Rains and Flooding.
Heavy rains and flooding occurring Sunday and Monday washed out a portion of Forest Road 150 (North Star Mesa Road) and have made it impassable.
An area in Rocky Canyon was flooded by rain causing extensive road damage. After an assessment of the road, District Ranger Al Koss and Gila National Forest Engineer Louie Canez decided to close the road until it is repaired and is safe for travel.
The closure on the south end will begin at the road to the Continental Divide Trailhead-Road #4080R. Also, Rocky Canyon Campground is inaccessible.
Forest Road 150 will also be closed on the north end to prevent travelers from becoming stranded. Signs will be posted at the north and south entrance of Forest Road 150.
Due to wet muddy conditions along the entire length of Forest Road 150, the public is strongly discouraged from traveling into this area.
Fore more information, please call the Wilderness Ranger District at (575) 536-2250.
