Isn’t Fordyce a part of the Eldorado Forest?

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.

This 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

They could fit the whole event at meadow I would think no problem depending on how busy it is

Last year covid, but the fires would have still closed it down. Maybe it should be rescheduled to an earlier date in the year.

Big Mike any update on MCR#19 yet??

BigMike · « **Reply #43 on:** Aug 24, 2021, 10:25:30 AM »

Hey guys,

Sorry it's been a very busy past two weeks for me. Unfortunately we have no choice but to cancel MCR19 as originally scheduled. Last week we announced this on Facebook and Instagram but it didn't get posted here. I'll edit the opening post to reflect the change.

In addition to El Dorado, as of Sunday night the following forests have also been closed as per Regional Order No. 21-04, however, only until Sept 6:

Tahoe National Forest
Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit
Plumas National Forest
Lassen National Forest
Mendocino National Forest
Klamath National Forest
Six Rivers National Forest
Shasta-Trinity National Forest
Modoc National Forest

With the uncertainty surrounding the Sept 30 date for El Dorado, we cancelled our Dash Plaque, T-Shirt, and Food ordering so as of now regardless of what happens there will not be a traditional Round Up. If the forest opens, and more than that, if the Rubicon Springs land owners even want us to go in on our original weekend of 9/17 - 9/19 (as they might keep their property closed despite an early forest re-opening), remember there will be A LOT OF SMOKE still in the area. We are some 150 miles as the bird flies away from the fire and it looks like Tatooine here. Personally I do not think the trail will be reopening until sometime mid to late October.

I am thinking of starting a poll to see what most people would like to do but we know for many this is their only vacation time that they schedule many months in advance so most can't just randomly change the date for when to hang out on the trail.

Obviously we'll make available the option for A) Full refund, B) Move registration to next year, or C) Donate some or all your registration $$ 50/50 to RTF and El Dorado Nat. Forest.

Other things I've thought of are doing an unofficial, very loosely organized meet up at say Moab or The Hammers or even Rubicon sometime later this fall or winter, just so we can get those interested to at least have an opportunity to hang out on the trail with good friends.

Man... We've done 18 events and now two years in a row we're having to cancel. The BIGGEST thing I'm unhappy with is that we had a record number of on-time registrations which meant a HUGE opportunity to raise a record amount of donation for RTF and El Dorado. Huge opportunity lost. These chances don't come often!!

I have never been to moab!

While I know I can only speak for myself, it really sucks to have looked forward to this event and have it cancelled. Understandably so. As for the monies, I'm ok with the money I spent for raffle tickets to sti be donated and maybe the registration monies just held over for next year. Unfortunately, while I have the time off, a further location would make it much more difficult for me to attend. But I guess we can just wait and see how things turn out and what comes of it. More importantly, I just hope everyone stays safe with all that is happeningin in this crazy world right now. $Beer Chug\'n$

Who should we reach out to for getting our registration moved/donated or refunded?

X2 you guys can donate my money to the trail. I'm #4 on the list.

Stickymuck · « **Reply #48 on:** Aug 31, 2021, 06:19:56 AM »

We are registered #2 and #3 and would like to donate it to the trail. Our hearts go out to all of the people impacted by the fire. Of course we are very disappointed the event had to be canceled as this was a bucket list deal being 2500 miles away and might not be able to attend in the future. Going to Johnson Valley instead.

Really bummed about this. I went to 15 Roundups back to back and ever missed one. Started racing ultra 4 and had a race the last 4 years on the same weekend as MCR, so Havnt been able to make the last 3-4. This was going to be my first year back and now it’s canceled. 🤦‍♂️
