I entered through the Doumont Trail, turned left towards Boomerang Lake and started my track at the next intersection, (what I call "Intersection B"). Here's the track on Google Earth:
Below: A YouTube video retracing the route. I hope it's visible here... You might need to bring it up full screen and crank the res. up to 720p.
I made a stop in at Okay Lake to snap off a photo. You can see from the yellow track above that the road in towards the lake now extends further around the south side of the lake. Lots of active logging in this area.

| I encountered this "bridge out" while heading south. You can see the location on the YouTube movie above: The arrow, (which acts like a house fly walking on your lunch), stops and turns around on the southern facing stretch after encountering the missing bridge. I return to the same spot heading north after taking a detour south on the usual road that skirts Okay Mt. | . |

| Ahhhh, the view from the other side after attacking it from the south. |
 |
| Really nice creek view where the bridge used to span across. |
 |
| There, a nice big truck to offset the beautiful creek. |
 |
| Wow... Logged Out. These people need to smarten up and change their messed-up logging methods. :( |

Great ride, Andy. Love the shots of the Elk - what a blast. I haven't seen any of those yet, but hope to soon. I took a few routes down some new roads heading east of the OK route a month or so ago, but they were still heavily forested...I wonder if I was the last to ride through those trees...too bad.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been out since my last post (I'm up to my ears in report cards - 2 evenings and 4 cards done!:-0), so your blog is a nice fix for me.

Hey Paul, yea it was a really good ride. I'll head back and do this again someday; really fast roads in places... exhilarating!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to get really busy myself. I have visions of me slugging away while reading your blogs.
