Absolutely yes if we were doing the gathering right now. Rally still more than two months away, so hopefully Colorado will get some of the monsoonal flow in July and August and help with the situation. US-550 is still closed to the general public:Originally Posted by motornerd

US 550 is closed nightly north of Durango and south of Silverton between 8PM-8AM. US 550 will be open daily 8AM-8PM with traffic escorted by a pilot car. One lane alternating traffic in place Saturday, June 16.
The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNGRR), announced today it is extending the suspension of its coal-fired steam train passenger service through at least Sat, June 30, following extensive consultation with local authorities and agencies regarding their progress in containing the 416 Fire and the status of current fire, drought and weather conditions.
The whole southwest US is just so darn dry. Major fire restrictions in most of Colorado. Many areas absolutely no fires!!! Not even a grill. No smoking outside. Yes, it is that bad. In the San Juan National Forest (that is in the Durango Silverton Ouray Telluride areas of SW Colorado), They have actually closed the forest to the public.
