I recently heard a rumor in mountaineering circles that the road in question has been repaired and that the original trail is back open to use. I have not investigated these claims. Let me know what you find out.
FS 6550 is permanently closed near Bullbucker Creek. Access FS 6550 at Jack Pass, go downhill a short way and then turn left onto FS 6554. FS 6554 is very narrow but in good condition. Road may be gated at Evergreen Creek in early season.

FixedI drove the road on August 20th 2011 and it is all repaired to the trailhead. This is an easy 1.5 mile hike now.
