weather was beautiful yesterday, took the dawg & drove/hiked to the top of Mt Cheam, a local mt.
last time i was up there was in the early '90's when it was being logged. road has been de-activated, so they cross-ditch the heck outta it to save the road from the immense snows. eight miles in from the turn off, took a hour & a half....
bench rd to the turn
like a non-stop roller coaster, usually cross-ditches are a foot, these were 3 feet, 4 feet & sometimes more
