| What the trail looked like before, Tetraplodon mnioides moss used to grow here, it's all been wiped out. I told the forest service it was here, but I did not officially report it. |

| Seam in my liner socks dug into my toes. It felt so good to change my socks |
 |
| 4 years ago the road was healing nicely with no help |
 |
| 4 years later work done to convert road to trail |
 |
| After "stewardship" this year. They had to reopen the road, uproot a bunch of trees make a new gravel pit (?) and dig up all the stream beds before they could begin work to "close" the road and convert it to a trail |
 |
| What it looks like now. What a stupid waste of money. This is what some people want to do with the Dosewallips. I say leave it be. Old logging roads will heal on their own. Digging them up to "close" them makes no sense. |
