Donovan said Is there a spring nearby, behind you? Don2

  Well, there was a rather wet area behind me as a matter of fact.  I didn't really notice if it was a spring though. I'll have to explore it more thoroughly next time I'm in the area!

Are you on the Hillockburn Trail on the eastside of the South Fork of the Clackamas or whatever they call that trail? I have been on it once from the top down, not from the bottom like you guys have been exploring it. Don

Yep, you've got it.  We didn't make it too much farther after crossing that wet area Donovan mentioned.   Your turn!

I guess I should check this webpage more often. This photo was taken from a current district trail. Don  

That looks like a Cripple Creek kind of a mess. I think there are a couple of sizable areas of laminated root rot up there.   Don2

It isn't the Cripple Creek Trail. A hint, this photo maybe 3-4 years old. Don

Clackamas River Trail.   Did we fix that? I can't remeber.   Don2

The CRT it is. That photo was 3-4 years old. Eric and another faller cut that out. They had to get a waiver from the USFS for it was in the new wilderness section near the bridge access trail on the Indian Henry end of the trail. I was really scraping to find a photo of a current trail for most of my new stuff is all from abandoned trails. Your turn to post one. Don

That's right. I remember now. I was surprised it was taken care of.   That would have been real dangerous with a crosscut, that's for sure.   Looking forward to a few forays once you snow chasers report all clear.   Don 2

That was one of the few surveys I ever done, having cracked my left wrist on a fall down Cougar Creek, I was off work from my day job for a month and needed something to do. I hiked the CRT and took pictures of all the damage from the storms; log bridge took a direct hit and needed replacing, dozens of big trees come down on the trail, like those near Three Lynxs like I posted. Where are you thinking of foraying this summer Donavon? I retire the end of June, so I will have time to do more hiking or exploring in the district then I have had in the past. Don

Here is another picture. What trail am I on? As for where to go, I think we will have a Cold Springs West tour.   Don 2

It looks like you are at the top or summit of the hill and there's a lake. Summit Lake. Don

That's a pretty good surmise, but alas, incorrect.   The ridge in the distance leads to a prominent location.   Don 2

Prominent like a fork in the road or what? I have no clue where the F*#% you are? A little more clue as to where you are maybe needed for I haven't heard of anyone else beating down your door on this one. I know, they are all enjoying the present weather pattern and are all out hiking this weekend. I wish I was, but I had yard duty this weekend. But watchout next weekend, for I have joined those who have retired from work, come Friday. Then I won't be looking at this screen, for I will be where the power cord can't reach. Out on the trail. Don

That'll be good. You can get us some fresh new pictures!   The prominent location was a look out site.   Don 2

That lake doesn't look familiar to me at all, and that is a strange lookout site.  That hill looks pretty flat.  Without more clues, I'm clueless.... (as usual)

The look out site is a ways to the left along that ridge behind the lake. The lake is the shortest triplet.   Don 2

The look out site is a ways to the left along that ridge behind the lake. The lake is the shortest triplet.   Don 2   Like how short? Say... 4,104?

Sounds like you have a lake in mind. Don 2

Any idea how these "triplets" got their name?  Were they named after a person, or some distinguishing feature?
