RE: [Az-Geocaching] Fire Closures

Yes it legal. Unfortunately there are people who are stupid enough to smoke
on trails at this time of year, etc. so rather than try to identify who is
likely to do something like that, they just close it to everyone.

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.<
