Ivanpah is OPEN !

I was by Ivanpah Monday and it was closed, new gate was locked.
The lake bed was looking good. The problem seemed to be standing water in the the road rutts after the gate.
I call BLM today (Thursday) and they said "Ivanpah is Open".
I'm hanging out in Vegas ready to Buggy.
Tomorrow the prediction is for winds S 10 to 20 with temps around 80.
Get down and BUGGY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, the winds are looking good though next Saturday with NO rain.

Susan I can confirm that's where the pic was taken. I've been on that road and the way the picture shows I-15 and the sun angle makes me certain.

Yes it is.
Was Monday afternoon when I arrived.
It felt sooooooooooooo good after dealing with the snow storm around Flagstaff Sunday.
