Hi, all! I received the following e-mail and was wondering if anyone from FWS can enlighten the group; personally I never go any further than the culvert behind the pumphouse, but I do mention the whole three-mile loop trail on my website, and if this is truly off limits, I need to change that! Thanks for any insight and info!

Central Daylight Time Subj: Monte Cristo Tract I've been off Texbirds for awhile but about a year ago was involved in a discussion there about whether Monte Cristo Tract is open or closed. I had been refused entry. and Fish and wildlife supervisor emailed that the officer was wrong and it was open for birding. Well today I was refused entry again but I insisted it was open so he called the supervisor who said it was closed including for bird watching. Have you heard otherwise? -- Tim Whitehouse
