Good News! Dosewallips washout to be bypassed.

My faith in the folks at ONP and ONF is restored. Good faith efforts to maintain traditional access have been ongoing (East Fork Quinalt, High Bridge repairs, and now Dosewallips), with individual public comments being given even handed consideration, not just special interest groups being "invited" to enter the public record. (ie: Mt Baker Snoqualmie NF, Middle Fork Snoqualmie debacle.)

 

A big thanks to the folks at Olympic National Forest and Olympic NP! Pro access minded hikers and climbers should express their appreciation via letter or email IMO. I will certainly be doing so.

 

Yahoooo!

Definitely good news. Indeed, this restores some faith in the Forest Services' management capabilities.

Hmm, I kinda liked the washout. It added just enough to the approach to Mt. Constance to keep the riff raff out!
