Posted by: thepinetree on 06/28/2017 12:26 PM
Hathaway Pines, CA...Three roads on the Calaveras Ranger District that suffered extensive damage from winter storms this year will reopen today, Stanislaus National Forest officials announced. Spicer, Slick Rock and McKays roads are now open to visitors wishing to travel on them. “All three roads are safe for public access, but please use caution and drive slowly. We have identified the damaged road segments and have marked them with signs, barricades and reflectors so drivers are aware,” said Casey Jardine, acting Calaveras District Ranger. “We have worked hard to prepare the road and are relieved they are in good enough shape to get visitors to many of our campgrounds in time for the Independence Day holiday.” Calaveras Ranger District staff have fielded many phone calls about the extensive road closures, Jardine said. “We are glad the visitors will be able to enjoy recreating within the Spicer, Union, Utica and Slick Rock areas again,” she added.
