the rain accumulation numbers are always flakey.

as of now, even Burbank Airport shows nothing.

Not holding my breath, about ready to call folks not to board flights.

Made it to quartzite when I got the word and turned around. Is the entrance the lowest place on the lakebed?

If the lakebed is dry but the entrance is muddy, wouldn't the creation of an alternate entrance seem logical? Probably been suggested/explored before, huh? :dhorse:

Back in the good old days, I used to go in by George's house. Saved a few miles since i am coming down from the north. It was great as far as I was concerned. But didn't work for the BLM.                                                    Didn't fit the rules.

There are alternative entrances.  This was discussed.  If its wet/muddy or damp (and judging by the rain we got down here El Mirage could well have got rain overnight) it better to close the lake to everyone rather than have some looney 4wd chew up the lakebed because its cool to play in the mud.

Please contact your local BLM Area Manager, or the local Area Manager.

Bottom line ... they do not want us on ANY of their land. A weak excuse is the best excuse.
