Dunno what the story is. I called a couple times and kept getting the same recording that it is no longer in service or has been disconnected. On the USPS website though, it is still listed as a valid post office and number. Who knows? I called the Burns BLM though and they were the ones who gave me decent up-to-date info. (Number is listed in Sullivan's book but I don't have it on me.)
The Pueblos are much less traveled than the Steens or the Trout Creek Moutains. Their beauty lies in the Basins, springs and wildlife. Cougars are populating that area and rattlesnakes are found at least up to the 6200 ft altitude. This is mostly BLM wilderness area and "tread lighlty" should always be practiced.
Tried to call the USPS in Frenchglen today at the number you listed (also the same number the USPS website lists) and got a recording it has been disconnected or is no longer in service. So, not sure where you might call for conditions on this mountain anymore.

Does not appear to be valid anymore. Drove past it Saturday May 8 and there was a sign on it saying For Sale and Closed. Best bet is to call the Burns Ranger District but they usually only have sketchy info.
