Do they make a Travel Plan every year? They already closed a lot of roads according to the map I downloaded. I tried to attach it but the file is too big.

Just like the Coconino, you will get a lot of response when they come out with the maps and people realize their favorite camping spot is no longer available.

At that point they don't have the right to bitch!

I think a lot of people don't know about these closures till they are in effect. A lot of people don't know still even after. I know forest service says it's your responsibility to know but maybe there are ways to inform people. Maybe everyone signed up for g and f news letter can get emails on closures. I get emails about closures from game and fish but not all so I have to check the forest service web site to make sure.

I didnt know about the coconino til right before the closures and I hunt and camp there. I don't get G&F newsletter but my FIL does and told us. I definitely agree that some sort of better notification system is needed.

Of course there are people that don't care and will still drive and camp on closed roads. I've seen a lot of it scouting for my elk hunt and most people I talk to say they had no idea that riad is closed. When I try to explain it to them they look at me like I'm speaking Spanish. As far as up north goes there are signs saying road closures in effect but when your already up that far who is going to say well I better call forest service? Just need a good way to get it out to public.
