Exploration!

6.8 miles, walking. 686' ascent. 2 hr. 11 min. 3.1 mph avg. pace --

Walked to the end of Peter Johnson Rd. Then east though across the grass path, up the draw along the creek drainage to the end of the "trail" such as it is. Then follow the bottom drainage and move forward (east) and I could see clearing ahead, maybe 1/4 mile.

The woods break into Gustafson Bros. clearcut and up the ridge to Rd. 490 -- the access along "Lone Ridge" . . . Gravel logging road down to Youngs River Falls 3.74 miles, then Youngs River Rd. return home, at about 10 PM.

Sore feet from walking on the asphalt roadway (Youngs River Rd.), but otherwise we feel fine. I'm wanting to get the MTB up into these roads, explore more of this area.




A -- start of the grass path at Peter Johnson Rd. end.

RD End -- end of grassy path.

B -- end of any path whatever, creek drainage.

Peter J -- previous extent of walking into woods.

CR -- Creek drainage (trickle ditch, step across)

Bound -- Boundary of clearcut.

RD -- Start of logging road to 490.
