If you want to camp somewhere and are willing to change plans I would recommened staying farther north in the Beasore Meadows area or farther south into the Wishon/Courtright Lake areas...Good luckJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677729133888280810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674630519179690239.post-48287441902281480272013-07-24T12:40:13.359-07:002013-07-24T12:40:13.359-07:00What is the status of the Aspen fire?
