Tried for a late start (noonish) to the south ghost today and got shut down immediately after the bridge at the ice dam. Pretty large "puddle" thru which some smaller trucks just had the clearance. Me and my impreza had to run away...

Can you clarify the location of the puddle / ice dam? Is this on the road in, before the 'big hill'?

Thanks...

I posted about this on 20th March here:
Flooding at bridge

I believe it is indeed the first bridge at km #3 under discussion. While SLS may have offered to try and alleviate it, it may be quicker to see if climbers can do something like try to drain it but at any rate, expect it to be a rough spring at the bridge.

Grant P is correct - the area that was impassable (posted by Chris) is 2-3 km up the gated gravel road, 20 km or so before the "big hill"!
