Why do they plow the road when the State can't seam to find the money to plow our snowparks?

that report is dated March 13....... how much has it snowed in 10 days? I'd be surprised they'll start tomorrow, given that and the forcast........ but the 509'ers (Wimpy!) can hope.......

You might want to remember the fiscal setup of the government. Different budgets for the year and that sort of thing.

and the price of fuel they Shir no haw to spend the tax payers $$$

So how do they get a road open without buying fuel?

Well even if though it will be closed for the shoot out. Im still going to try and go around the long way for it. When its open we leave here from chelan around 5am takes about 3 1/2 or so hours to get to the trail head.... We ride then head back on home. When we camp up there you cant miss us 28ft trailer with a four PLACE SLED DECK, YUP four place.
