No hype, Nancy said that the lines and holes that have been blocked with blown down trees can be opened back up. At the end of last year Nancy had a tree crew cut down all the dangerous "widowmaker" trees that lined the trail. Most people thought that she closed some of the trail at the same time, but it was mother nature that downed the trees.

How did it go today guys?

I went up Sunday on a whim. Didn't know about this. (I don't check this board often enough I guess..haha.)
Alot of folks up there....but I didn't hit the Busy, so didn't run into too many others on trails. The one's I did didn't look too freindly...haha!

Most all of the down trees blocking the closed lines. Where winter blow over. Seams like evertime we run that trail more trees are down. Just gotta stay after it. Thanks Evergreen for your help

We were able to accomplish a lot...

Repaired the campground shelter support columns & added some paint
Did a ton of work on the Busywild:
- Dug out several silt ponds
- Opened up lines that were blocked by blow down
- Closed off a few illegal bypass routes
- Rocked in "spectator row"
- Repaired the bridge...bolted down planks to hold the bridge together
Blocked the illegal campground @ the Rainier Vista/Gotcha intersection
Picked up garbage everywhere
Added rock to the ditch outside of the campground
Moved some rock piles to expand parking outside the campground
Graded/leveled the gravel in the campground

Thank you to all the volunteers!
