Re: I just won the "forgot something stupid" olympics

I'll pull the car over when not to far from home and double triple check for items that I'm paranoid I've left at the house.

Got half way up Kings Mt once and realized I left me wallet in plain view on the car seat, that was a fun heart pounding race back to the TH :lol:

Re: Nick Eaton Ridge-Gortan Creek Loop, 6/28/23

Here is a map of issues. Yellow segment has the most work yet to do and is about 1.9 miles and 1k' of elevation. Veering off topic a bit: Referring to Eric's detailed map, I noticed a few unmarked tracks, showing up as narrow red lines, going uphill from the 400 trail towards Deadwood Camp. One suc...

Re: Nick Eaton Ridge-Gortan Creek Loop, 6/28/23

Thank you for the TR!! It's called Gorton Creek. A few abnormal folks are actively working on things in the area. Lower Gorton, which I classify as Herman Camp to Indian Point, has been cleared of all deadfall manageable w/o the use of a 2 man crosscut saw. Upper Gorton, from IP to Nick Eaton, is be...

Re: Trail Friends Of Herman Creek

@ Jerry - this huge old growth cedar is still here, it has a walk up and over user trail for the last year and half since it's been blocking 406. I hope this is the one you are talking about. It is about 3/4 mile from Cedar heading south towards Whatum...

Trail Friends Of Gorton Creek - Ragtag amateur hour

Happy to report lower Gorton Creek trail (408) seems to be logged out up to Indian Point. Still 3 very large old growth trees to climb over. Ridge Cut Off to Deadwood Camp - Grays Creek is also fairly clear of logs and brush. Brushing seems to be a weekly event to keep things somewhat clear right no...

Re: Trail Friends Of Herman Creek

@ Robin - that's awesome, I'm using Gaia these days too but did have the mapset loaded onto Avenza and the free USFS maps available. @ Jerry - I think I could get 2 of the 3 larger logs solo with a 48'' 1 handed cross cut saw ala MCDS. That 3rd gigantic old growth log blocking the trail 3/4 mile fro...

Re: Trail Friends Of Herman Creek

EP!! Good to see you're still out hiking. BTW, I still use your Gorge mapset all the time. Hey B-Rad! Thanks for the shout out - had the mapset on my phone using Avenza for a long time but they revamped their app again and now it's hosed. Don't really need it though :D I still have the baggie of ye...

Trail Friends Of Herman Creek

Little hike to check on trail conditions up to Whisky. Happy to report Herman Creek is very passable all the way to Whisky Creek save a few mid sized easy step overs. Just need a few extra large ones cut out with a 2 man crew or 1 MCDS, is that cat around anymore? :D 5.13.23.0.JPG Enjoying Nick Eato...
