Show Timothy Lake Road lias Been Closed The road leading from Dry Gulch into the head of Swift Creek and Timothy Lake has been closed, thereby prohibiting motor vehicle travel into this area, according to Wm. D. Hurst, supervisor of the Ashley National Nation-al Forest. .The Swift Creek road was constructed in 1950 so that heavy equipment could be moved in to construct the Timothy Timo-thy Lake reservoir. The road was extremely rough and hazardous haz-ardous and accessible only to vehicles of the Jeep class. Since the road passed over many wet mountain meadows, wheel track damage to drainage in the meadows mea-dows was severe. The Timothy Lake reservoir has now been completed, and i drainage problems along the road repaired. The road has been i blocked to alleviate further dam- i age to the mountain meadows and to prevent possible loss or i damage to personal property that could result from the con- i tinued use of this hazardous road. |
