Cliff Notes:

-Paperwork has been filed to decommission the first 5 miles of 1501, aka "Little Rattlesnake" rd instead of repairing it.
-The Wenatchee World will publish an announcement, which start the clock on a 45-day appeal window.
-Lets hope someone understands all the legal blah blah blah enough to do something about this.



How'd I do?

Looks like we'll be taking the long way around to the Little Rattlesnake Trail for good.

I sent my letter requesting repair, in favor of closure, of the 1501 quite some time ago.
