Logging closes trail and provides view of Lost Lake


 High on the top of burnout hill, RightMAPS! Chuckanut/Blanchard Map, a private landower clearcut his rectangle of land.  The logging tookout the trails Overlander and Ender.  However the logging road can be follow to make a connection between South Lost Lake and Burnout Trails.  And the road has views to the north (Chuckanut Ridge, lost lake, raptors ridge, etc) and to the bay.
For the geologist, a small quarry opened, exposes some carbon-rich sections of the Chuckanut Sandstone.

Ross Lake Trails: Super wildflowers!

Lake Diablo and the Thunder Creek Drainage from Sourdough Mt.


The bugs are out, but so are the wild flowers. Everything is a month behind due to the cool July. There was snow on top of Sourdough, but it was easy to find our way on top of the mountain to the fire lookout.
