He told me trails weren't their business, it was the trees...

In the Clackamas District of Mt Hood, the wilderness expansion will create huge hardships for those few volunteers who maintain the trails. Without our chainsaws, it will take ten times more work to keep up the trails. Bull of the Woods trails are already in serious disrepair. Volunteers are not large in number. The crosscut saw is an enormous labor to use and gets little done per hour.
The District will lose trails. Serene Lake, Grouse Point, Old Baldy, a dozen or so trails, will go down hill. the Forest Service does not have a trail crew in Clackamas District. It is all up to us volunteers and I can guarantee you that the trails that are taken by this wilderness expansion will decline.
in addition, access will be limited by road closures.
Envitronmental groups have done nothing to help us withthe trails. they have a few pitiful attempts elsewhere but we never see them.
Support those that actually do the trail work, give us the chainsaw in the wilderness.

We keep the freeway eastbound plowed if folks need to head back to the better places. This is how we do it in Oregon. We like it this way.
