Just talked to Bob Fernes of the Kernville NFS phone 760-376-3781 (Monday 23 May 10AM)
Both gates are locked AGAIN at Cherry Hill.
If you plan to ride please call 48 hours in advance and they will open the gate.
Seems someone on Sunday was stuck in the snow at the trailhead and the NFS does not want anyone stranded up there. The stranded person(s) may be un prepared to spend the night !!!
