gapertimmy Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 On the drive in this morning, I saw the odot rigs lined up at dutchman flat to remove the last couple feet from the cascade lakes loop. looks like it might be open for the holiday weekend, I'll keep y'all posted. Tim Quote
gapertimmy Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 Update: Road is clear as far as I can see from Dutchman flat. Gate is still closed though, saw on some other sites that they might leave the gates closed this weekend (one by Elk Lake and the other outside West Village parking lot) If so, you could bike back into Todd Lake or Devils Lake for some supah fine freshies, got some new night before last... saturday is looking shatty though on the forecast.

mattp Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 About ten years ago I went with a large group to enjoy some fun in the sun at Green Lakes over Memorial Day weekend (I highly recommend this as a destination for turns and tanning) and the road was in a similar state: fully plowed but gated. Being law abiding citizens, we set off on foot to walk down the road to the Fall Creek trailhead. One of our buddies, however, hadn't shown up and about an hour later, when we were almost to the trailhead, the guy shows up in his car. In his CAR -- what?? It turned out that some grey-haired RV drivers wearing jump suits had a pair of bolt cutters and they had decided it was time to open the gate at Dutchman Flat. Quote
gapertimmy Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 Gates open at noon today, let the gapage fly, and the fricking RV's return to the promised land of volcanic scree... Quote
Country_Jake Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I'm suprized it took this long to open... I was up there a month ago... the opening of fish season for the cascade lakes... and the snow was few and far between... Quote
