Weekend trip to the Tarryall's -- June 12th and 13th.
Made a two day trip to the Tarryall's this past weekend to check out cell phone signal levels. Found signals in our regular camping areas adequate to use my laptop. Will give it a try this fall when I go back.
Lot of campers and quite a bunch of horseback riders. Too much activity to see any elk cows and their new calves. They must be up in the high areas where it's quieter and the grass is greener. It's sure dry and dusty at the lower elevations.
The Forest Service has placed restrictions on camp fires and smoking. You can get current information on campfire rules from the Forest Service Ranger Station in Fairplay, the telephone number is - 719-836-2031.

It looks like the Tarryall Reservoir is filling, not sure all the construction is complete, looked to me like they had more work to do on the dam. Not much water in it yet and signs are still up prohibiting fishing and use of the camp grounds.
The DOW has contracted with land owners along the Tarryall River to allow fishing access, you must pay a fee and have a permit in your possession for access. The fishing must have been good, seen more fishermen along the river than I've ever seen before. Check the DOW web site by linking on the right side bar. I don't know if they have maps, but it looked like access was all along the river where the fishing club originally had exclusive use. It was well posted and in many places they had new steps to cross over the fence.
