Impressive Damage to Forest Service Areas

Bear Gulch picnic area from ONF


The forest has put up a pdf file that shows some of the damage.. no wonder Staircase is still closed!

I'm happy about one thing though.. the wildlife gates should be open so I my hiking options will expand now.




I have a geocache near here, I think it's a goner.




The bridge at Lake Cushman this gives acess to the Dry creek, Copper Creek and Shady Lane Trails.
