Odd, yeah. Maybe they lugged hand saws into the Wilderness, and left those outside the Wilderness for someone with a chainsaw?

That stands to reason, except the large majority of the uncut ones were out in the wilderness area.

A new species of beaver that can cut straight through logs?

An easier way to Green Point Mountain is from the upper Defiance Trail, though I highly doubt that is free of snow, either. Pretty bizarre!

Heh, okay, saw the same thing yesterday! Just crazy, alright!
And how about that MONSTER down on the Herman cutoff? Shades of Bell Creek.

Is the large tree still there, south of Cedar Swamp and before the trail crosses Herman Creek?
Not too bad to walk around though.
I'd like to watch when they cut that. Maybe easier to just re-route the trail.

Boy, I don't know. We turned north at Cedar Swamp, after coming down the cutoff from Green Point. (I'd have to bet it is, though!)
