The weather was dry so I thought I would hike the Sulphur Creek trail. Oops, I didn't check road conditions first. The Suiattle Road is closed before Milepost 18 due to a 3 foot diameter tree that has fallen across the road. I walked about three miles on the road, and then returned. A nice road walk, but not the trail I was hoping for. I do carry a 40-volt 12-inch chain saw with me, but that 3 foot diameter tree is to big for my chain saw. Send in a volunteer with a 36 inch blade chain saw.
As I walked along the road I picked up litter and threw small branches off the road. I guess I'll have to wait a few more months before returning to this area.
On the Trail Conditions required input, I am just guessing because I never reached the trail, but based on the down trees on the road, I assume all the trails in this drainage have lots of down timber across them. Maybe the windstorm a week or two ago really battered this valley.
