In the San Jacinto Wilderness. . .This may impact the closure, I would think, due to the possibility of re-introducing frogs to the Rattlesnake Creek area, eh?

Interesting!! It's good news, but I would predict it will result in a closure of Tahquitz creek. (Does anyone hike there anyway? I'm not familiar with that area).

I think the rules need to be honored here.
We must now refer to the frog area as the "creek-that-must-not-be-named" !

Yes, those two creeks (Tahquitz and Willow) bound the very popular hiking and backpacking areas in the federally controlled portion of the Mt. San Jacinto Wilderness.

There actually is such a thing. Kind of.

It can tolerate lack of water for eight months and total starvation for one year. It can tolerate temperatures down to 32F (I assume a hard freeze will kill it). Pretty badass.

Here comes another closure!
It'll be one of those temporary, emergency closures that can only last one year by law.
Then, every year they issue another one. And so on ....
Skips lots of paperwork and study involved in a real closure, and much more effective.
