So you're saying that there will be no crowds, if you hike this weekend?

Yeah, its Judy Chu crazy.

She has no problem with closing a NP for everyone for her feelings...sarcasm.
Altadena residents know the answer is not to close but are going to adapt.

But yeah, the govt signalling that any rain/snow/wind they cant handle is going to set the mood.
Wait till insurers get a drift.

The ANF should become a museum piece, where you can observe it from a far and tell museum-goers that back in the day people used to actually hike it.

Yeah..after the large earthquake. Or is that not happening now?
Well see if the lizard people and Daddy Longlegs shows up in the chaos...because authorities will be enforcing the zone against residents/victims.

well have the 'Sucks to be you' exhibit complete with ALOT of Doritos and the palettes of donated 10 cent instant ramen.

You know, when things are lousy I go to the mountains to feel better. The ANF is the best self care I have. I know I'm not the only person in LA who feels that way. And I know I'm not the only person in LA who could use some self care right now.

Does anyone think, emotions and our own self interests as super-users aside, that this is a warranted act? I personally don't understand the logic now that the Eaton Fire is basically contained.

Contained doesn't mean out or zero risk. There will be a lot of cleanup before the masses should be tramping around out there, and I'm sure many will ignore closure orders too. Meanwhile there are other places to visit, this is a great time of year to explore the desert. I've never been in the Los Padres so I may drag myself out there soon. The other options aren't comfortably familiar like the Games and might require an overnight or a very long day to explore.
