Well, it's been a week of quiet on this topic, so I'll say:  I think I was where you think I am when I took the photo in question.  I declare you the winner of this round of "What trail am I on?".   Your turn..........

But you never said WHERE the photo was taken?!!

It was the White Iris Trail at the road crossing in the new addition to the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness in our district. This was the new addition to our wilderness system that I was ranting about earlier that has roads and clearcuts included, not exactly what I call wilderness attributes. There are  clearcuts in some of the other "wilderness areas" also like the Roaring River Wilderness in which they left some of the more eye sore clearcuts out, but labeled them as possible future additions. I guess you can interpret the law any way you want too these days.

D. that new post of a trail  looks like  it isn't in a wilderness area.

Not yet.

Yeah, I know the Prez has a pen and a phone and 3 years to fulfill his campaign promises. So watch out for the new land grab.

Is this new trail post one of those trails that isn't on the current map (2002)?

12 years and still no new district maps.

Don

It is one that they failed to get on the map.

At that time they were wanting to run a pipeline right through there so clarifying that it was a full protected "system" trail (and hence not an asset needing protection) may have been part of the calculus if there was any.
