The mechanic made it out to WP and the grader is running again! Don will be out doing some snow removal cleanup to finish getting the roads cleared. Thanks for your patience!

For those wondering what is going on with snow removal: The grader made it to the highway and back before breaking down on Thursday. The part has been ordered, but it will not be up and running til its fixed. The regular city plow truck is only 50% operational but we will be getting out to Saltry Circle soon. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The temporary patch is holding, but the storm cut a small trench around it... You can get through, but it is tricky. Go SLOW and be careful. We will try get another patch on it as it looks like the USFS is having trouble getting anyone to bid on the repair job. If you know any contractors interested in bidding on repairing our culvert, information is below:

According to USFS on Nov. 21st:
"SAM.gov | Home is the link, the person would have to be registered in the system already with a DUNS number, and all of the appropriate documentation. The title of the contract is POW Storm Repairs; I believe it is being advertised for another two weeks."

NECK LAKE ROAD is PASSABLE
A load of drain gravel has been put down so cars can get by until USFS repairs the culvert
