I have been talking to some of the folks down here in the Coronado National 
Forest and it looks like it is going to take just a little more than just 
rain to open the forest.

We need to get enough rain to bring the moisture levels in the forest up to 
a point to where the danger level no longer exists.  Given how long it has 
been since we have had any rain, I suspect that it will be a few weeks into 
the monsoons before the Coronado Opens.  I can hardly wait, this is turning 
into a very boring summer.
