OK, so here is a photo to ponder about. It is a current trail and is in a wilderness area.
Pretty picture with those bright chips.
Looks like year round advocate maintenance.

Cripple Creek?
Bob it isn't Cripple Creek, but you could say it is on the same mountian.
Donavon, I think we must have a Paul Bunyan in our mist. I left that log that was parallel to the trail back in 2011 when I cut this trail out with my crosscut. I didn't think at the time that it impeded one's way and I am sure it had been there for sometime. I was on this trail last October hunting for grouse with Murphy when I took this photo and saw at least half a dozen other logs that had been chopped through with an axe. Using a crosscut would have been alot easier, unless you like to swing an axe all day long.

I can't figure out how it got beavered, unless they rolled it half way through.
