McKenzie Pass Conspiracies??

An incredible job by ODOT on the repaving of the East side of McKenzie Pass this past season.  As you know and with the expected snow, Mckenzie pass is closed for the season.  It allows ODOT to focus their attention on the much more accessible Santiam Pass during the Winter season.  Some rumors, reports, conspiracies are circulating that cyclists, skiers are not allowed, while closed.  Please read the article by Central Oregon Daily regarding ODOT's ruling on a closed Mckenzie pass.  Article was forwarded by fellow COW member Tod Feuerman.  Thank you Tod!  Yes, Tod will be backcountry nordic skiing up there this Winter and we will be posting rides once the snow is cleared next Spring.
