This is the Official Announcement from the USFS regarding the reopening:
October 1st, 2007 - INDIAN CREEK, FOREST SERVICE ROAD 9 HAS REOPENED - CLICK HERE

Posted below is the appearance of the Previous Repairs done as of Saturday, May 6th, 2006


Metal Retaining Wall to the left. Much better water drainage than before to the right.


Excellent job. Close spacing between metal I-beams. Much better drainage.


Looking back on the way out of FS Road 9. Road now wider than ever before. Concrete "Grout" also
poured to create multiple pylons underground for additional support.


Section beyond the Metal Retaining Wall heading into Indian Creek. No Wall was constructed here.
Rock fill, then loose dirt fill to cover - as before much better drainage.
IMPORTANT - Do Not Pull any Vehicle onto Newly deposited Earth, off the gravel, during time
of Rain. You could possibly get your transportation stuck in the mud.

RRS RECON - "Adapt, Improvise and Overcome"
THE RED RIVER SAGA RECON PATCH created by SDK GRAPHICS & OMNI TECH
SHOULDER PATCH ELEMENTS
1)  SAGA KNIGHT - Represents the Members of THE RED RIVER SAGA who sit around the Circular Firering.
As with the Round Table of King Arthur . . . "You must Speak your Heart, ... You sit at The Round Table".
2)  ARCH - Represents one of over 100 Arches found in Red River Gorge, Kentucky.
3)  RAVENS - Represent the purpose of the Recon. Based on Ancient Norse Mythology, the two Ravens,
Hugin and Munin, who perched on Odin's shoulders, every day flew out across the world and then returned
to tell Odin what they saw. A daily Mythological Recon Mission to go explore, observe, and report what was
seen and heard. In Old Norse, Munin - means "Memory" \ "Hugr" means "Mind" or "Thought".
Hugin thinks. Munin remembers ... everything!
