It is in the Olallie Lake area.


Is it along the Red Lake Trail  #719 ?

Don:

You win!  It was actually not far from the Olallie trailhead that the trail passed this small pond.  It was one of the few areas where the trail actually went around the water than right through it.  Most of the other shallow water bodies the trail actually went right through, and you had to either get wet, or go around the side of the water.

I am running out of photos in which to post for this game, but I have a few left which were taken of trees along trails with a little history to them. So here is one for you ponder over.

This picture of a benchmark painted on the side of a tree is located on an old abandoned trail that ended up being cover up by a road that is now itself abandoned. (Donavon I know that you know where this, so can you hold off posting for awhile to give others a chance.)

Very cool!  I'd love to know where this is, but without some clues (other than it was an abandoned trail that was replaced by a road which was abandoned), I don't have the faintest idea where it might be.  Is that marking a bench mark?  (by the B.M. on it)

It shows up on the '38 and '46 maps for sure and maybe a few others, but not on any recent maps. It is near a small creek less than a half mile off of the main road that goes to the southern part of the district.
