Forest Service
closes Mount
Ellinor trails
The US. Forest Service on Mon-
day closed all roads and trails leading
to Mount Ellinor and Mount Wash-
ington.
The closure lasts until Sept. 30,
running simultaneously with previ~
ously announced closures in Olympic
National Forest and Olympic Na-
tional Park.
USFS roads 2419, 2419-014 and
2464, along with Forest Service trails
800, 812.1, 812.2 and the portion of
trail 812 that falls within the Mount
Ellinor area are closed.
The closure includes the Upper
Mount Ellinor trailhead all the way
to the summits of Mount Ellinor and
Mount Washington. ,
“The Mount Ellinor area has the
highest rate of requested search and
rescue events on the forest particu-
larly in the spring, and this tempo-
rary closure is intended to reduce
the burden and risk of COVID-19
exposure to local emergency response
volunteers and law enforcement per-
sonnel while emergency personnel
are strained,” wrote Susan Garner,
public affairs officer with the USFS
Pacific Northwest Region, in an
email. “We will continue to evaluate
the need for this closure order as the
season progresses. At this time, it’s
set to expire on Sept. 30, concurrent
with the regional closure order of de-
veloped recreation sites.”

Post: A small distraction
continued from page A-37
Broncos come up with.
I’m also interested in seeing how
the draft comes together with so
many far-flung moving parts.
“We recognize the challenging
times we are living in, but we are
looking forward to presenting the
2020 NFL Draft and providing some
hope for football fans everywhere,”
said Seth Markman, ESPN vice
president, production in a release
on NFL.com. “For the past couple
of years, ESPN’s NFL and college
teams have worked together on our
drait coverage, and it has been a
win for our viewers. This year, we
are further excited to collaborate
with the NFL Network creating an
All Star broadcast. We’are also com—
mitted to producing the ESPN/N FL
Network and ABC shows in the saf-
est possible environment for our an-
nouncers and production teams.”
This year’s draft also features a
“Draft-A-Thon” designed to pay trib-
ute to health care workers and first
responders. It will also raise money
for six national nonprofit organiza-
tions to help with COVID-lQ-related
relief efforts.
I’m sure I’ll tire of listening to
some of the talking heads and studio
commentators, but let’s face it —— It’s
going to be nice to have a distraction
for a few days. Even if it is just a
small one.
