Gorge highway closure extended after trespassers violate barricades, throw signs off road "Existing closures haven’t stopped some 200 cars an hour from showing up, according to transportation officials. Many visitors have also violated barricades, thrown signs off the road and trespassed into closed parks and trails."

I heartily accept the motto,—"That government is best which governs least;" and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which I also believe,—"That government is best which governs not at all;" and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. — Thoreau, Civil Disobedience

Perhaps I've misunderstood, but the content of the second post of this thread seemed to suggest that this thread was for posting information for members and users of the site regarding closures.

You understood correctly. Check opinions at the door.

I edited the wiki post pretty heavily. It's a lot more readable now. It would be helpful if people adding to it (thanks for helping clarify for everyone!!) would follow the new convention:

• Bulleted list, because it wasn't clear which was a new thing, and which was a link that wrapped around to the next line. Easier to scan through now.
• Name of the place is bold, again easier to scan through if you want to find something specific
• Casing is consistent now: proper nouns capitalized, first word of each item capitalized, everything else lower (it was a mix of title case and lower case)
• Clarified "all" for a couple items
• Sorted the list from federal to local, again so people looking for info can find it more easily

I also changed the text from "because some people are recreating on closed lands" to something more stoic, make it less likely to provoke a debate. I don't mean to criticize anybody else's effort on this, I just saw some ways to make the list easier to use.

Agreed. Makes it much easier to read - thank you! And +1 on the management move. Still though, having a list is super helpful, but I then need to cross-check closure areas with maps, since I've not always payed super close attention to which entity manages a certain area. Of course it's often obvious, but not always! It would be cool to have some of these as map layers that you could turn on and off.

[blendergasket]

If I'm understanding you correctly you can do that on caltopo using the "public lands" layer.

[Luc]

Yes but more granularly, for example per the wiki list.
