We went in 1.28 & saw no such signage, just marker #39. We parked there, but saw 2 other vehicles throughout the day in North Ghost.

Alright. I was in there on Grant and about 8 other's on Saturday and none of us saw any such sign. I did speak with one of my other climbing partners who said they did see the signs not long ago, and that they did look very much official. That being the case I'm guessing they are now sitting in some wheeler's or climber's basement pub... right beside one of the missing #39's from last year. \:\/ Just my guess.

So for those who care to respect the SRD closure, and park it up at #39, here is some info repeated from the Ghost forum that should help keep your feet dry walking in.
 Quote:
From the berm to junction 39 had some deep drifting. We passed a couple of vehicles stopped to check conditions and they seemed happy to have us break trail. Kent's 350hp and lifted suspension helped, hope you guys ended up making it. I'll not say what driving conditions were beyond #39 as no vehicles passed there Sunday. Kudo's to the folks who parked and walked. Just downstream from #39, there are ice bridges to cross the first river crossing and keep dry feet. Likewise at the second river crossing just downstream from the road. Beyond THOS, a little rock hopping and ice bridges will keep the feet dry all the way to VOTS.
