Due to the Federal Shutdown....

I just called Inyo County Roads department. Here's what I learned:

1. Horseshoe Meadows road is closed at the gate (about 10 miles from HM). Edit 10/14: Others report it was open Oct 11.

2. Whitney Portal road is in flux: It sounds like there is some arm-wrestling over who can close it.

3. Quite a few roads in Death Valley National Park are closed.

4. Other roads are open.
