gearbot Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Hello Cascade Climbers, On Sunday morning, one of the “dams” on 503 between Cougar and the southern entrance of Mt. St. Helens broke taking out the road. In my untrained eye, the road will be closed for months. To get home to Seattle, we had to drive south to the Columbia River, then to Vancouver and up I-5. I do not know where you should get the climbing permits now, since you can not get to Mt. St. Helens from Cougar anymore. Call before going. Hope this help. G.B.

AllenN Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 From the WSDOT site, it looks like they plan to have the road fixed to one lane by the end of the week. Still best to check ahead though. http://wsdot.wa.gov/news/april02/sr503spurclosure.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenN Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Just reporting that they did in fact open the road to one lane traffic at 5 pm on Friday as promised. Water is pretty powerful stuff! Sluiced right through that levee wall and tore the pump/power/whatever station across from it all up. -Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
