Attached is the new superseding Forest closure order. It was signed without the usual map attachment.
Main emphasis item is Pfeiffer Beach is closed again due to the storm that hit soon after the last closure order re-opened it. And thanks to the tireless commitment of VWA trail rangers, the Pine Ridge Trail is again open. Issues with the Arroyo Seco area will likely keep that area closed for an extended period.
