NorthWest connector

[old trials guy]

Its going to be a nice connection when it completed. As for the work completed it is not nearly as hard as Dashboard was when we cleared that trail. now Dashboard is a two way intermediate route. I would like to see the gps tracks if someone could send them to me

Tom

I would like any GPS tracks from yesterday as well and I can share my tracks from last year's hike on the Statlu side.....thanks to everyone who showed up and helped, I was pretty beat so headed out before the beer...I hope my share didn't go to waste.....otg

I have not looked at the gps yet. All I have is the route up to where we parked and I might have a ping from on the top of that stump at the tree line and did I mention I am a dumb welder and have no idea how to send jack ---- online. Sorry. Thanks to all for a good day! And Tom, I need a stickeer for my helmit.

Heard from a Quading friend of mine this morning, He said when the logging is finnish in the Norrish creek area that the logging companies are to remove all the bridges and return the road beds to their natural slope. Seems like a lot of work . I don't know the origin of this information.

You know, looking at the gps and google earth it looks like there was a bridge at the bottom of the logging clearing conecting to the other side. The old grouth on the other side would be easier and there is better drainage on that slope above.The only way to tell is spend a afternoon in the bottom of that gully. Man thats nasty terrain.

Sounds like I missed out on some good ground breaking experiences!!!!! Let me know when you guys take your next stab at it. I would like to help.

Here is my best guess at progress on the NW Connector (One Lung's Revenge).

White lines are actual gps tracks. Yellow line is the approximate results of Monday's work. Red line is existing grade through the clearcut.

The yellow line needs some work to approach the red line grade at a better angle. It is a great downhill but won't be many riding up other than with a trials bike. Lots of clearing to do on the Statlu side but all in all great progress and proof that a connection is possible, we did it.......otg

coming up weekend is probably no good since the loose screw is on and most people will be there.
