Location: Carpenters Lake trail junction to Bridge of the Gods
Description: Six volunteers. One crew logged out 10 trees, brushed, repaired drainage dips and trail tread, and cleaned bridges between Carpenters Lake trail junction and Bridge of the Gods. We were disappointed to find that Longview Fiber built two new roads across the PCT and made two large selective cuts. The selective cuts were excellent with the exception that they were made right up to the PCT. This is four years in a row that we've found logging activity directly impact the PCT. A boulder about the size of a washing machine is blocking half the trail near Sacagawea and Papoose Rocks. A project next year could include filling mucky spots in the trail with rocks in the same general location.
