Many thanks to BigBearJoe for this:
OK everyone, here's some current info on the fire closure areas of the San Berdoo due to the "Old" Fire. The official Forest order for this closure is attached at the bottom of this post.
First, here is some info from a Forest OHV Ranger on what OHV trails actually were affected by the fire.
"North Shore Volunteer Center survived unscathed. The fire burned right up to the back of North Shore Campground.
The Pinnacles Staging Area faired well. No damage to report.
However, our road and trail system is another story.
o The Northern section of 3W12 and 3W13 burned over.
o Most of 2W01 and Devil's Hole burned to Carbine Flats.
o Dishpan (3N34) partially burned over.
o Eastern Cleghorn burned over.
o 2N27Y, 2N28Y, 2N29Y and 2W11 all just east of Arrowhead was burned over.
o T-6 crossing was burned over partially.
o1N34 Cucamonga Trail from Lytle Creek to Upland was burned over in it's entirely"
