A Ride Through

   We checked from Dill Valley around the loop to Old Tower entrance. In general, because frost was not deep this year, when the snow goes, the roads harden fairly quickly and there are stretches where conditions are good.
   But Dill Valley, Lombard Road on the south side of Lombard Lake, Sys Road from the gravel pit to Pug Lakes Road all have stretches with deep snow and soft mud.
  Road damage will result there from passage now - estimate two more weeks before roads will be ready.
   Old Tower road was not damaged by the truck that went in. It's not clear how far they went before getting stuck.Old Tower will probably be open for careful passage in a week or ten days.
   Sys Road from the eastern entrance off Depot Road is passable and hard as far as Pug Lakes Road. One of our early pioneer owners was at camp having come in that way. He reported that Depot Road is dicey and there's one sink hole.

CAUTION is required when the roads open. There are several places where the road was washed out by the very heavy rain we had late last fall. It's not possible to get equipment in to repair those places until the road will bear the weight of gravel trucks. The hazards are not yet marked. Take care.
