You guys can cut and paste all you want, but I live here. 138 is closed,phelan rd. is closed, hwy 18 closed, all from running water, to be open soon. EL MIRAGE...... NOT A DROP today. The lakebed has it's OWN weather conditions, so if you aren't right there on the spot you can't know, only guess what is going on. I happen to live right up the hill (7 miles south) of the lakebed, and have a GREAT view of the whole course and don't have to speculate. Yesterdays rain drenched the WEST END ONLY, the east 60% is bone dry.But if there is even 1 puddle left the BLM won't open the lakebed. But don't worry Mud Patrol has already been taken of if we don't race this weekend. So stay tuned and I will try and keep you posted with the drying.
