The views from on top of Whalehead are pretty spectacular so yes, I can see why they chose it - especially since there is already a road up there. It...

I went up there today and it is quite different now. They have completely brushed out the 5411 road and are installing utility vaults along the road ...

That is really sad. I really liked that sign. I certainly hope it went somewhere to be saved. Same with the sign on Park Ridge that has disappeared...

Doug Firman said I wonder if they might have walked on roads from Faraday to Fanton. The writer doesn't mention a trail until the second day, probab...
