road through camp
I posted pics (and a bad map) on Facebook

it's not as bad as we thought
Scouter John went up to camp and told Ryan there's nothing left of the 1st Clbk site (best site, and where the campfire has been wired for pyro)
Ryan told me, and I told the rest of the crewpany, and so we went up tonight for our meeting to survey the damage and see what's left of our camp
it's not as bad as we thought it was going to be
there's a high point of 400m elevation near the camp, which is where a new cell tower is going to be planted. and to do that, they need a big huge road, and this road cuts through our camp
we're not sure if the lease has run out for the camp, or if they cut up our camp without permission. if the lease has run out, we're gonna squat and continue using the camp as we have been
the outhouse by 1st and 5th abby sites is right near to the road, and the trail there runs quite close to the road too, but doesn't cross the road.
this road seems to be built solely for the purpose of putting up a cell tower, so once that's done, hopefully the road won't see any use... except by us when we're too lazy to pack gear in.
I'm against cell phones at camps... but on the plus side, there won't be anymore misheard directions
mother nature's definitely done an excellent job on the trails. it's very overgrown since we were there last in the spring. next meeting we'll have some machetes and beat back the bushes.
