Me and a buddy logged the trail out from the parking lot to the wildness boundary. Took 2 men all day and about a gallon of saw gas. Bucked out 100+ trees. Lots of beautiful stuff to see on the way to little hump (and a few logs to shove off that we were too wiped to move). The trail past the boundary is a sawyer's dream/nightmare. I can only imagine what the burn looks like.
This will be a crosscut extravaganza, a lot of these trees a packing some pretty spicy binds. The more C-sawyers yall can dredge up the better, there are some real head-scratches bound up. Tread itself is almost perfect underneath all the brush!

Well, there are spots on the Duck 1.5 and Duck II BCRTs, come on out! Thanks for clearing the 1st mile, and I'm sure you cut it to stock standards, right? :-)

Not even remotely to stock standards (unless you count my dog who often packs beers). I may make another pass but I did save yall from having to deal with some really reactive binds. I've been on bcrt's up there before, you'll have some buttery work dropping fully suspended logs till you hit the boundary. After that, yall are gonna be in for a party and a half.
With handsaws, I'd wager you'll be two or three days of cutting before you hit camp windy but it's anyone's guess what it looks like past the boundary.

Thank you for not cutting to stock standards! Nothing destroys a trail like biologic backhoe (horse).

Ma'am, unless you can pack in a few hundred pounds of equipment, I'd rather have the horse help out. There are elk much bigger what use the trail anyhow.

Thanks for your extreme efforts. It is much appreciated by all the people who use this popular trail. Also thanks for the report on the approach road. Glad to hear it is at least "passable."
