Naxja swamp run

I gotta call up to the Forest Service and talk to Greg to see how it looks for being open. I'll try to talk to him in the next couple of days, haven't been able to reach him this weekend. If Swamp isn't open yet that weekend we can always run Red/Coyote. All the times I've been up there I've yet to camp at Coyote Lake, which would be nice. We always end up camping at Red and then running out from there to Coyote or Mirror.

It's pretty hot now, and looks like it could stay that way, so the snow could melt fast. We'll just have to see how it goes. If it's not going to be open, we'll have to make the call to either go to Coyote or do Swamp on another weekend....or both. :)
 
Just talked to Greg at the Forest Service. At this time Swamp looks doubtful for two weeks from now. But, it's been hot and a lot of snow has melted. For some reason there are a lot of trees down this year, which is making more work to get a crew through the trail to check it out. They did not get to the trailhead at either end of Swamp last weekend. We found this to be true in our area also, one of our adopt-a-trails had 25 tress down, which is many more than usual.

Red Lake just opened, and Coyote should open in two weeks. This could put us in exactly the same situation we were in last year. If it stays hot, they will likely open Coyote before that weekend, but we won't know until the week before. If it stays really hot, Swamp might be open, but it might not be until that Sat if at all.

So, it looks like we plan on Coyote and we'll see how it develops. I would be happy to drive into and camp at Coyote, it's a very nice spot.

I know Diaz well. We just wheeled Corral Canyon 2 weeks ago. Problem is he now deployed to the east coast for 3 months.
 
Shaver Lake area east of Fresno.
 
I have some good news guys. I am running Red lake this weekend.

I will be on a cattle drive the next weekend, and we go past swamp lake on the other side. So I will let you all know the condition a few days before our trip. Plus Greg Marks should have the word on whether its open or not.
