Routt County piles snow from the <br />county road plowing on the access areas to the mine site, so entry during the winter <br />is almost impossible. <br />Shrub parcel 003 was viewed from the county road. The parcel was covered with <br />snow but appeared to be stable at the time of the inspection. There were no <br />erosional problems noted on the parcel.
