Back to Boulder River
again, this time to do a little cross-cutting. On a previous walk of the trail I'd counted 58 trees across down, most of them beyond the 2.5 mile mark. Greg, Pam and I accompanied by Dawn-from-Darrington unleashed Mac-the-Knife and Number-One on cedar, hemlock and silver clearing out another 1/2 mile of obstreperous tree-trunks loitering in the trail. We stopped at a huge pile of 15-20 trees jack-strawed across about 50 feet of trail were we started limbing the mess to get ready for another cross-cutting trip next month.
In the first stretch of the trail you'll find a large hole on the edge of the trail. This is an area were the trail is supported by large timbers underneath and some have broken leaving a large gap. Be carefull in this area - stay to the inside edge of the trail.
