Farther north than I have been. Looking forward to hearing about it following through to points north. Does look like easy country to get lost in, or predate-ed.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to see where the Skyline Trail comes out near the Warm Springs Meadow or cabin myself. Definitely will have to have a second vehicle on that run or will be doing a lot of backtracking. You can't see any nearby landmarks because of the closed canopy and the terrain is monotonous, but the trail is still visible. That newest photo posted looks to be in the far east of the district. I will have to excuse myself from that one, for I was with you when we cutout those logs in the burnt forest. Don

  True, a little ways out of District.   Great big clue tho in the file name. Somone oughta get it.

Enough said, just sit back and watch them bite.

Section Line Trail #451 unless its a abandoned trail. Never been there but a little sleuthing brought it up.   Bryon

That's close enough Byron!   You win. Your turn!   Don 2

Here's the trail. Which one? This current trail once was much longer but only segments remain. Bryon

Donovan said That's close enough Byron!   You win. Your turn!

So inquiring minds want to know - where exactly was it taken?  451 looked to me like it was out of district and a bit farther north.

I was curious too, so I think I located it on the other side of the mountain, over by Parkdale. It looks like it's in the Mill Creek watershed. It's kind of open over there so you can see parts of the trail if you zoom in on the aerial views. The Forest Service has a trail description on their website.

Mill Creek indeed. Don 2

That would be Mill Creek in the Mill Creek Wilderness, Ochoco Nat'l Forest, just a little east of the district, and east of Prineville, OR. That was a fun week using crosscut saws D., probably one of my best memories working with you. Don

I figured the dialogue died on this trail, so I needed to put it to rest. I don't have access to photos at the time, so if anyone wants to post a photo of a trail and start this going again, feel free. Don

    I'm confused.  Was Donovan's picture of North Section Line Trail #451 in the MHNF, or one of these trails:

• Belknap Springs Trail
• Twin Pillars Trail
• Wildcat Trail

?????????

Kirk, I believe it was on the Twin Pillars Trail, south of the junction with the Belknap Springs Trail. I marked the approximate location on the map. Don  

Looks like an interesting area.  Sounds like there's a lot of trail maintenance to do over there due to the fire a while back.  A recent trip report on PH described lots of snags falling due to gusty winds! http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15246  

We went over there to try to help. 2008.   But the lesson to me was and is, put out wilderness fires. That place is a wreck. Stand replacing fire. The dead will keep falling for still another several years.   If the trails survive the multiple decade recovery, I will be surprised.   OK. We need a new picture. There must be someone getting new pictures this year?

    Before we went on this rabbit trail over to Mill Creek, Bryon posted a picture, and we haven't figure out where it is yet.    I'll make a guess.  Bryon, is it somewhere near Mr. Bagby's hot spring?

Oh yeah. There is an unresolved case.   My guess is Whetstone Mountain Trail.   Don 2

My guess is Whetstone Mountain Trail.

  Nope. The trail in question is much lower.

How about Alder Flat?  That's a pretty low trail.
