Where did you read A22 season was extended?

Poor wording on my part. There hasn’t been an extension. I’m just saying it’s a longer season. A22 goes out to Dec 31 compared to the general season ending on Nov 22.

I saw some posts on FB today saying the forest service extended the closure to 9/24 and plans to keep it in place to 10/01. But I haven’t seen any confirmation of this. If it’s true, I’ll be going to BLM next week.

Good find.

The Cleveland National Forest Page (https://www.fs.usda.gov/cleveland/) says it is still closed but they've opened up some of the forests in the north:
