Browns Park road has been closed until Sept. 30 The Daggett County road down Jesse Ewing Canyon, between Clay Basin and Browns Park, will be closed from Sept. 8 thru Sept. 30. The Mid-American Pipeline Company Com-pany (MAPCO) is currently laying a 12 inch diameter liquid hydrocarbon pipeline between Rock Springs, Wyo., and Hobbs, New Mexico. The line will pass through Jesse Ewing Canyon requiring complete closure of approximately ap-proximately two miles of road in the narrow winding canyon during the 23 day construction period. Floating the Green River from Flaming Gorge Dam all the way to Browns Park will be difficult during the road closure because of the distance of the two detours. Those returning from Browns Park to Flaming Gorge will have to travel through Colorado through Maybell or come back via the Taylor Flat Diamond Mountain road, both of which are much longer than the route through Jessie Ewing Canyon.
