Does anyone have an update on this closure?
The ranger website lists it as still being closed but it does not state why.
Is it closed due to physical damage from the storm or closed just due to concerns about the illegal activities up there?
Hoping it will reopen soon...
I had the exact same thoughts about this post having discovered this location through my own curiosity and studying satellite maps of forest service roads in big sur. I would hate for this pristine remote location to get overrun with people. I think on one hand it's good to make a post like this to try to ward people away from doing irresponsible things, but on the other hand, I think it's also likely that a (really well done) post like this will inevitably increase traffic to these areas as well. Increasing visibility online will lead to more use of the land which typically will lead to more issues in spite of your stated goals these posts may have unintended consequence.
