Serious roadblock
Road Report: Access to Blanca Lake, West Cady Ridge, and Benchmark mountain via the North Fork of the Skykomish is not happening and won't happen perhaps until 2010 if then. The river swelled into a raging torrent and cut a new channel just north of Trout River, about 6.4 miles from Highway 2. The Index-Galena road is gouged out and strewn with river rocks the size of basketballs. Water is still flowing heavily over the remaining pavement. See photos.
