CCC Road: Blowout Creek Trailhead — Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

(Note: Lost item between 1/2 to 1 mile uphill from the TH--yellow Amphipod water bottle with black pocket--contained expensive-to-replace Ford key fob!) Took my dog on a trail run from the Blowout Creek TH (on Middle Fork Road), past the closed blue gate, up Bessemer Rd (old logging road) uphill for about 1 mile, right (east) on the CCC Trail, then about 3 miles to where the trail intersects Middle Fork Road again. We then returned back the same way for a total of about 8 miles. Trail was pretty muddy in spots and there were several creek crossings where we could not avoid getting our feet soaked. (Note: I have usually found this to be the case with the CCC trail.) There were a few nice views off the ridge to the mountains across I-90. We saw one family on bikes on the trail itself and a few hikers, one with dogs, on Bessemer Road leading up to the trail. My husband and I searched Bessemer road thoroughly but did not find the water bottle/key fob. If anyone has collected the them to turn in to a lost and found dropoff point somewhere (or has any suggestions for a lost and found drop location), I'd be grateful to hear from you!
