As of noon today it was still closed. They were still doing pilot cars for the 12-1 opening.

Hwy 36 is a mess, the trip to Ruth lake this last weekend was a dirt road in many parts. Please drive the speed limit I was passed on double yellows by trucks barreling down the road, CHP needs to get a handle on that recklessness before more people become a statistic of the road. By the way, Ruth is beautiful, but they haven water in the camp grounds at least in Bailey, bonfires are allowed though. Be safe folks
