Hillockburn road is OPEN!Theres about 1/8 mile of burn next to it by the sweeping curve. A lot of it has been logged already? All the trees were gone, just a bunch of stumps
45 is blocked by a down tree towards the head of the SF canyon
So does this mean that the trails in the area are accessible again, like the CST and Memaloose Lake trails? That'd be great news! Also, do you know where exactly this roadblock is? Would be nice to see all plotted out on a map. 
Looks like 4610 and Hilockburn to the top of 45 are now open. Here's the map:

The road closure notice specifically mentions 4610 being open and 4611 closed.

Thanks for posting this. Good info to have. I find it very odd that they opened 4610, which had fire right up to it, and closed 4611, which according to that map had no fire close to it. That seems really weird. Looks like 45 is closed from the bridge to the Helion quarry, but open after that. That does open up some closer trails without having to do a very long detour - Old Baldy, Fanton, Squaw Mtn, Memaloose, Hillockburn, Corral Springs, Huxley Lake, Plaza, Bissel, White Iris should all be accessible (until the snow flies).
Good news! I will be interested to see what things look like....

That is really, really weird but about par for the course so far. So if they are protecting us from fire damaged trees etc. then why....? And the Ladee Flats OHV trails are open to foot traffic but not OHVs - except where fires have actually burned still for foot traffic only. A good time perhaps to explore on foot. Unless its because hikers are expendable.
The actual full order is at http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3821497.pdf
A least I found out its i before e except after c unless its weird.
Last I knew, they were doing thinning work on 4611. Probably explains why they kept the closure.
