Read in the paper today that Shirley Creek, Rocky Shoals, Fulton Branch, Dragover, and River Bluff on the Ouachita are closed to overnight camping starting today. It is to give the Forest Service time to evaluate potential flood danger. Shame they couldn't do it over the winter. It shouldn't take a govt agency over 9 years to do an evaluation.

That doesn't sound good at all. Did they give any indication as when (or if) they'd reopen?
