Church Creek — Thursday, Jul. 29, 2021

Road 600 is passable for all vehicles. It has mt "speed bumps" ie drainages ditches across the road to handle the water flow at regular intervals.Easily navigated at a slow speed. I had the trail all to myself! Some of the most impressive old growth I have seen, and the western hemlock near the top of the ridge is outstanding. Blueberries start after the old road bed and are prolific all the way up to the ridge and down the other side. The climb up to the ridge is in deep shade gratefully appreciated on this hot day but the other side was really warm and more exposed in areas. Dropped down about a half mile or more before I turned around as my 14 yr old dog was feeling the heat and worried about him making the climb back to the ridge. Flowers blooming still but missed the real show earlier in the season. There are some peek a boo views near the ridge. Will definitely go back to see the lakes. My greens trail map(Mt Tebo) showed 1.5 miles one way which was definitely wrong.
