    Really enjoyed reading your essays.  However, didn't even realize they were there until recently; they deserve higher billing than being buried under About.  Perhaps you could put them in a more promenent location on the website, or even give them their own heading under Navigation?  Just a suggestion.

  • I have to agree, and also give a big THANK YOU for starting this site.  There are two statements that you wrote that sum up why I love the trails in the Clackamas country:


    Well, there is something about a quiet day on a forgotten trail in forgotten places full of beauty and history natural and otherwise that just can't be duplicated on highway trails.

    And

    Admittedly, remote or lesser used trails are not appropriate for many people.  But for some they may be the cat's meow -- if they knew about them.  Hence this site.  Know them, love them.

    Thanks again for creating this site, and keeping it maintained.  Although I have not shown up for an official work day yet, I have tried to do a little trail maintenance when I've been out (which hasn't been for a while!).

    I'm also hoping that they clear the slide on 6340, so I can get back to my favorite (so far) hikes in the Bull of the woods (trails 550 and 553).  I'm hoping to backpack into Big Slide Lake this summer.

    See you all on the trails!
