About 1,000 years ago Don1 and I cleared it down pretty low, probably 1/4 mile to the river.  It gets really open and brushy down there.  It's a light trail all the way down too, not much tread in new growth.

Yeah you guys were too far west and close to the creek.  The trail headed more easterly as it got towards the bottom, there's kinda a flat in that area.  There is a 1950s Oregonian article that Paul posted that shows the trails pretty accurately.

That area was pretty well burnt by the 30s, so the trails must have been wide open at that point.
