Downey Creek, Bachelor Meadows — Tuesday, Sep. 8, 2020

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Fire on Downey Creek Trail - C P

Porcupine Woman and I worked on this together on a five day four night trip.  Got most of it looking good, came out to burning forest and trail closure.  Hopefully doesn't stay closed too long, burned part is only at the start.

This is a very brief rewrite since WTA deleted both my and her Reports.  I had never met her before, we arranged the whole thing in the comments section of one of my previous Reports that is still up.  I hope to work with her again next year on another trail or three, we discussed options and now have each others contact info.

Hi there --
As we have mentioned in prior email correspondence, any maintenance being done on trail needs to be reviewed and approved by the land manager before being conducted. Because this report was originally written and posted while the trail was closed due to a wildfire, and illustrated using a closed trail and included photos of an active fire, we elected to remove it to avoid confusion about whether or not the trail was open and keeping hikers safe.
