Is Stockton Flat closed?

Is Stockton Flat closed? I am helping teach a survival class out there, but if it's closed, we'll default to the high desert.

I'm not gonna say a word. Nope.

I'm not trying to trap anyone.

I don't think so. I know someone who drove there and hiked around a bit like 2 weeks ago (after the closure was in place). it's not in the ANF

The San Bernardino NF is open - campfires and charcoal BBQ's are not allowed anywhere, though

Too cool! Thanks guys!!!!

No open fires in this drill/setup, just Esbit stoves. Gonna spend some time between Baldy and Dawson in that cool hidden canyon.

As of 9-1-09 in SBNF

Campfire permits are required for propane and gas stoves and lanterns used outside of developed recreation sites. (permits are available at your local Ranger Station)

Notice they leave alcohol out. Not sure USFS has caught up with current uses of the lightweight crowd.

Just to be safe, I won't light any of my alcohol.

Kiddo is still in the belly. My petite (95#, 4'11") wife is looking like she swallowed the Great Pumpkin. She's due Sunday...
