Ha! Just came here to post this. Nice job DVexile. I'm shocked that NPS put out such a detailed report. Other than leaving the Southern part of the park out completely, this is extremely comprehensive.
I was initially surprised by the damage to West Side Rd. But I'm guessing the sticking point is probably still the Amargosa, so that makes sense.
I'm seriously annoyed that they won't open Scotty's Castle Road (which I've heard is in perfect shape) to allow access to the Ubehebe/Racetrack/Eureka from that direction.
I'm guessing that they will permanently close Lemoigne Canyon Rd, which is unfortunate.
The Saline Valley people are trying to bring in their own bulldozer and have their own plans about that part of the park.
Looks like Winter 2023/2024 will have virtually no access outside of the main 190 corridor.
Only new pic I saw on the NPS site:
