Sweet! You found the spot!

The boy scout bridge. I am sad to see the work we did fixing the rail so quickly discarded. It was fun to peel the cedar and make a near perfect match.

At that time they were on a bridge kick. Didn't do any we really needed like Salmon River or Roaring River. It may have been a spend it or loose it (the money) situation. And an easy project close to a road.

So that makes you the winner I believe. And you know what that means.

Alder Flat had almost no snow (just a dusting in places - most of it was bare).  Riverside was anything from bare to 4-6" or so in spots - but those were usually in more open areas.  The road was single track to the Riverside trailhead, but you can pull over in something with high clearance (and 4WD).  The snow on the road and at the trailhead was probably 10" or so.  Maybe not quite that deep, but it was deep enough.....

I'll go find a photo to post now.

OK, I found a photo.  This photo was taken while standing in the middle of a current district trail.  It is near (but not in) a wilderness area (I don't think).

What trail was I standing on when I took this photo?

Kinda hate to guess 'cuz I am short on pictures in case I win, but here it goes:

Just short of summit South Fork Mountain from Memaloose Lake?

You are too far south.  I took a good look at the map, and I was (partially mistaken).  Part of this trail in indeed in a wilderness area, however the part where this was taken is not in a wilderness area (I'm pretty sure - how is that for conviction?)
