You can always call the area office and speak with the area manager if you have more specific questions.

Thanks all for your responses. I must have my first time there missed a sign and went into a area i should not. Not intentional of course but just a miss. On my next two visits I did not miss any of the signs, but noticed so much less area to bird...
I looked at the map again and found the area posted in a couple of ebird posts and that is accessible. I was just baffled about not only apparently being in the restricted area the first time by mistake but seeing others there. I am a stickler for following the rules.
Thanks all.

Subject: Grand Pass CA question
Good morning,
I have gone out to Grand Pass CA a few times over the last six weeks or so. I have noticed that many of the roads there while the gates are open have signs that say Authorized Vehicles only or something like that. With those a large portion of the area is off limits.
My first time there I must have accidentally went through one as I went through an area that I can't refind my way there. I know as you went left from the intersection at the office and then went right somehow I got beyond that area but the last two times the only roads I see beyond that have all of those signs. Even the short drive over the dike for a view of the river has that sign.
I have seen vehicles beyond those. One a few weeks ago drove thru the grass to get around a closed gate and it looks like others have before him with the tracks.
So, my question is, are we allowed to drive pass those signs if the gate is open? A silly question as I would never think to go forward but it seems so much is not available.
Thanks,
Steve Griffaw
