East Fork Trail closed on Saturday by FS to avoid hassles with miners

Get this. The East Fork of the San Gabriel River is closed because of zealous miners and the Forest Service trying to mitigate any hassles between them and the general public. Apparently, the rain brings out better gold mining conditions. Also note, it is illegal to mine within the National Monument!

I imagine that the miners blame the fishermen for putting pressure on the forest service. I think the EF may be a very dangerous place right now.

Update: Malachi Curtis reports, “I ended up heading up to see the east fork and it wasn’t or was no longer shut down. The bungee jumping company had a full group of people they were taking to the bridge. I fished there for an hour or so and landed two fish.”
