from CORVA:
Closure of Eldorado National Forest and Rubicon access through Eldorado:
The Eldorado has been just issued an emergency closure order for the entire Forest due to the fast-moving Caldor fire from today until September 30th. In less than three days, the Caldor Fire has grown to over 30,000 acres.
This includes access to the Rubicon Trail through Eldorado. Towns around Highway 50 near the turnoff to the trail have been evacuated.
http://thepinetree.net/new/?p=127034This will also cancel the Rubicon Trail Foundation's Cantina for the 'Con planned for Labor Day weekend.
This is a difficult fire season again, so please expect many of the forests to limit or close recreational access as dry conditions persist for public safety. Please be safe out there and avoid these areas to allow access for first responders
