Sierra National Forest closures – Hazards near CA death site
Sierra National Forest closed numerous hiking trails, picnic areas and campgrounds, citing “unknown hazards found in and near the Savage Lundy Trail,” where a Mariposa family was mysteriously found dead two weeks ago. The closures went into effect Sunday and extend through Sept. 26. … The Sheriff’s Office previously said known harmful algal blooms along the south fork of the Merced River are among the many possible causes of death being considered in the case with “no smoking gun” clues.
