I'm so confused...............how can they "CLOSE" a National Forest??? Is that legal??? I can understand fire restrictions, but closers seem to be a slap in the face for those of us that are more than careful when out in the wilderness!

I can't like this........

Tonto Closures Start Today

05/20/2004 17:29:47

(Phoenix, AZ) -- Closures are going into effect today in the Tonto National Forest, due to the extreme fire danger. They will take place around the communities of Pine and Strawberry, north of the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park to the Mogollon Rim. The Pinal Mountains south of Globe are also closed. Visitors are urged to follow fire safety standards, to prevent human-caused wildfires.<
