Part of Middle Moutain area to close next week at sheriff's request

Parts of Middle Mountain will be closed from Wednesday through Monday, July 11 at the request of the La Plata County Sheriff's Office.

The Middle Mountain area of the San Juan National Forest north of Vallecito Reservoir will be closed to all public entry from Wednesday, July 6 through Monday, July 11 at the request of the La Plata County Sheriff. The closure will include Middle Mountain Road (Forest Road #724), which will be closed to all entry about three-quarters of a mile before the Cave Basin Trailhead. This will block access to the Cave Basin Trailhead and Tuckerville. In addition, the Runlett Park Trail will be closed from Runlett Park to a point two miles south of Middle Mountain Road. The trails and Middle Mountain Road below the closure area will remain open, and dispersed camping will continue to be allowed in the area below the closure area.

Forest Service patrols will notify campers and others using the closure area over the July 4th weekend that they must relocate no later than early Wednesday morning. The Sheriff's Office and Forest Service law enforcement officers will also conduct a sweep of the National Forest above the closure to notify campers they must relocate by Wednesday.

The sheriff's office did not immediately return phone calls asking why the area will be closed.

Every summer, foud some clues, each time we go up there, the road is pretty restrictive. hard to pull off, we ask for closure, late next week and next weekend, mountain isn't closed, all but maybe top few miles, just the upper area, that's where we're going to have our vehicles, best for safety reasons to close that.

this case - any came similar - lengthy investigation. loke working to put together a jigwaw puaale. 1,00 pieces, don't know connection, average jigsaw puzzle user has the advantage of a picture on the box.

item, information, number of things. that would be related to the case, it's much more difficult to figure out how that figures with theothers.

always remainded open, investigators assigned, searching area, reports, any loose ends we can tie up. more pieces we can get, we can complete that puzzle, the closer we'll be to obatin justice for Dylan.

mark back? no idea.
