Flooding 7/31, 8/5/22, and Park Reopening

[MojaveGeek]

I don't know what current practice is, but IIRC they used to close the West Side Rd during the hottest part of the summer - presumably to keep ill-equipped visitors from going out there and getting into trouble in the extreme heat. I imagine there are plenty of people who would drive that road, but not think about other, rougher roads, like Echo Canyon, that are also in the area and on maps.
