I know there was a thread started over at ktmtalk.com about getting a group together for some trail clearing and general maintenance in Sept. but, the opening of the area was postponed. Maybe they have some new info. over there. I haven't read anything on it recently.

This mornings paper had statement from the rangers for Angeles Natl. forest stating that the forests would re-open today due to the rain, but could close again if warm, dry weather returns. I have no idea if this includes the riding areas and would suggest calling the ranger station there.

Drinkwater is open

I live very close to Drinkwater / Rowher flats and everything is open now. We rode Drinkwater last weekend and it was great; alot of hillclimbs and technical stuff. I would recommend it, hit the deer trail off of Del Sur road when you get to the top.

I talked with a Ranger at Rowher Flats and they told me that there was private land back in the Texas Canyon area now and thats why they won't open it back up. The rangers are kind of clueless around there so take that for what it's worth. I rode Drinkwater right before the last big rain and it was still pretty nice back there. It may be a little beat up after that last big rain storm though.
