(Update:The Idyllwild State Park is open as of now, the upper State Park is still closed until the ranger in charge says otherwise, the clean up organizer is on a wait and see, so contact her directly with the information provided).

See link to calendar here look under Aug 3rd
Click on that link to sign up, I've sent a message to Phoebe Oelheim at phoebe@calparks.org to see if that date is still a go with all the confusion about what's closed and what is open as she's in charge of that date/crew organization.

Might be a chance to see the damage up close without getting reprimanded for doing so. They are working from 8:30 AM to 1 PM and children 10+ are welcome.
