Well, there goes summer cooling for many..
However I believe cachers should spread the word on caches they own in the
areas just to prevent long drives and 'accidental law breaking'

Coronado Forest To Close June 9
Due to Extreme Fire Danger
*Tucson, AZ (June 6, 2011) – Due to extreme fire danger and concern for
public safety, the Coronado National Forest will be closed to all public use
beginning at noon on Thursday, June 9 (36 CFR 261.52[e]).*
*The temporary closure applies to all Ranger Districts of the Coronado
National Forest, and includes Visitor Centers, campgrounds, picnic areas,
trails, summer cabins, organization camps and all other public uses.
District Rangers may authorize use for specifically permitted activities
through Special-Use Permits. Violation of the closure is punishable by a
fine of not more than $5,000, or imprisonment for not more than six months,
or both.*
*On the Santa Catalina Ranger District, the Catalina Highway (Mt. Lemmon
Highway) will remain open during daylight hours so visitors may access
Summerhaven atop Mt. Lemmon. Vehicles may not stop along the highway, and
must use it strictly to access Summerhaven. The road will be closed at
night.*
*This closure will be lifted when significant moisture is received to reduce
the wildfire threat to manageable levels.*
