A friend of mine was there a week ago and said that a slide had blocked the road 8 miles from the TH. Check with the USFS Naches RS. It should be online under trails and roads.
Road is blocked 6 miles in. The actual washout is another 5 1/2 to 6 miles up the road but a spot a mile looks like it could slide off thus the closure being where it is. I was kind of torqued at the location of the closure until I saw the condition of the road a mile in. Supposedly will be fixed next year.
I thought this was covered in at least one previous thread. The road has no chance of opening this year and probably next!
If you own a road construction company and want to donate materials, equipment and labor, talk to the USFS, work through the environmental stuff and come up with a plan. The Herke family has to be talking to the USFS.
Otherwise I've heard nothing.
