While camping near Stoneman Lake Road this weekend we were visited by a ranger checking on campers and letting people know about the restrictions.

I took a drive up to the top of Ord this morning all the north facing areas had about 1 to 2 inches of snow. All the areas exposed to sun were clear. If the weather holds for the week I suspect the road to Peeley will be okay.
