A couple points of clarification - the address is 740 Simms for today's meeting. The Forest Service describes it as more of an "open house", not a continuous 3 hour meeting. And it would be more technically correct to say that they are considering re-opening Hackett and Longwater, but due to the massive erosion in the burn areas, they're looking for support from the 4wheeling community that we'll help maintain our own trails. They'll be closing Metberry and several other trails in the area.

Note that the picture at the top of that link is Hackett. Water doesn't absorb too well in a burn area, so the flash floods are causing havoc with erosion on all roads in the area.
