The recent rains have created so much mud, that a lot of roads within the Bighorn National Forest have become impassable.
The U.S. Forest Service has announced an emergency road closure order will be issued Thursday evening (June 22nd).
There’s been above average precipitation in various areas and there’s been road and resource damage, caused by vehicles attempting to either travel through or around all the mud.
A forest service spokes-person says tickets have been and will continue to be written out to those who cause resource damage.
If a camper is on a closed road or on a road that’s in extreme conditions, owners are asked to leave the camper where it is and contact a local ranger station.
