Subject: Re: [sbcobirding] Forest Closure
Hi Peter, What I got only shows it to Feb 28th which makes more sense as
it would have had rain other than our March miracle by then. But tomorrow
is the last good dark skies for this year and I'm not clear as to where the
closures are. Fig. Mtn. looks like 34.742791,-120.028915 which cuts off
the Spirit Pine Sanctuary. Happy Cyn shows it at 34.663787,-119.943626
but cuts off De La Guerra and Chicken Springs so hopefully gate 1994?
