Elk Lake Creek?

Rob Williams said Elk Lake Creek?

That's it. That photo was taken in the section between the two creek crossings. I'm curious to see that section now, post-fire. Hopefully it survived intact! Your turn.

OK, here is a new one.  It was taken from a "pseudo trail" in the district.

Judging from the alder thicket, are we on an old road?   D.

Donovan said Judging from the alder thicket, are we on an old road?   D.

Good eyes.  Yes, it is an old road.

OK, no one seems to want to guess, so I'll give a clue.  You already know it was taken from an old road.  Look carefully at the photo - there is another very distinct clue - water.  Think about water and closed roads in our district.  Hopefully that is not too much of a clue.

OK well how about this. I will guess, but if I win, you have to post another picture.   D.   Running out of pictures.

I can probably dig up another photo.....Guess away!

Well I would have to think you were up Fish Creek somewhere.   I wonder if anyone has ever looked for the supposenly trail on the west side of the creek.   D.

You are very close, but not quite right....Or maybe I'm just being too picky.  There was a very significant "event" that happened right near this spot, which contributed to the road closure.

Donovan said Well I would have to think you were up Fish Creek somewhere.   I wonder if anyone has ever looked for the supposenly trail on the west side of the creek.   D.

I haven't..... yet.  What about the Cold Spring Trail?  Are there any remnants of it left, or did logging operations pretty much wipe it out?  Here's a segment of the 1956 map that shows it.  

There are remnants up top on the west end.   Our Fish Creek Mtn access is on part of this trail on the east side of the Fish Creek Divide.

So I guess everyone is either tired of the "What trail am I on" game, everyone who has participated has run out of photos, or everyone is too busy out hiking to play. Donovan was essentially correct, although that photo was taken up Wash Creek (my being particular), at the spot where the bridge was washed downstream:   So, my question now is this - should I post another photo?  Does anyone else have another photo they would like to post?  Personally, I really enjoy the game - it is interesting to see sometimes familiar trails in a different light (sometimes different times of year, etc).

I have never seen that wrecked bridge before.   Interesting piece of archeology.   As for pictures, there must be some folks still heading up to the woods with cameras.   Bring us new pictures!   D

What? We don't speak anymore? I like clues. Is this trail in a wilderness area? Don

Ok ok it's a wilderness area.  Don you sound like a Jewish mother! 

Are you at the edge of a clearcut that has released acres of a certain rare flower?   D.

Is it a current trail or an abandoned trail? I love it - Don the old Jewish mother! 

Active trail.  No, I don't think it's a clearcut.
