Putting this out there as a heads up:

"The Northwest Trail Alliance is offering a reward of up to $500 for information leading to an arrest and the recovery of our trail construction machine and trailer. Oregon State Police (OSP) is investigating the case."

 

 

 

Retouched to what it might look like now:

If it had been the Northwest Trails Association, the thieves would have done us all a favor!

Duthie also got hit about a week ago. Evergreen lost about $15k in tools

I must say I was happy to see the NW Trails people pull there monster equipment out of the rainy lake trail in the middlefork last year. Still havent figured out why we need 4 lane highways stomped through our forests. Less time consuming and invasive to just use hard work with picks, shovels, saws, hard rakes and rock bars. In no way am I condoning the theft though. That is sad.
