    Will the Forest closure be enforced? Yes. Here’s an example: In this photo from tonight, an investigation of a vehicle spotted in the closure area revealed expired registration over six months out, which is a towable offense.

    A pickup truck with a large camper shell is being towed. A Forest Service law enforcement vehicle is in the foreground.
