Range Road Update
The main road to the range is in the process of being worked on. At this time it’s certainly usable but work will continue, construction equipment is still in place. As further information on when the road won’t be passible is available we’ll update this posting. If the primary road is not passable, you may survey and use the secondary road off of Turkey Pen at your own risk. It sometimes gets quite muddy.
