Agonizing isn’t a strong enough word for the way I’m feeling, but it will have to suffice. Stay safe everyone!

The closures are confusing. It says you can get to Red Bluff/Redding on 36 from Trinity Pines but also says 36 is “open to just east of Forest Glen, where there is a hard closure”… Which side of just east of Forest Glen is open?

I could drive the 30 road (WildMad) from my house to near Wildwood. Does that mean I can get to Redding? Anyone?
