Subject: update on plowed roads

Thought I’d give you both an update on plowed roads with timber sales and contracts that I administer:  The 2010 road is plowed several miles to the junction of 2010/2010328 in the Cup contract area. I expect it will be plowed most of the winter.

The 15 road is plowed to the junction with 15/16.  I think the 15 road south of the 15/16 junction may be plowed as well to Wolf North IRTC – Trevor Simmons is the SA and would have more information on Wolf North.  Trevor may also be able to tell you what roads are plowed in Mars TS that is in the vicinity of the 4955 road.

The 3925 is plowed from the junction of 3925/15 to 3925/3925382 in the Sugar contract area and C Salvage. I expect plowing to continue west on the 3925 as there are Sugar units that require oversnow logging along the 3925.  Ryan Courtney is the SA for C Salvage and may have additional road numbers that are being plowed in the Canyon Creek drainage.

The 1601 in Cub TS and 4900333 road to Venus TS may also be plowed in the Starr Ridge area – Lisa Arntz would have more information for those areas.

……………and after a trip to the Sugar contract area this afternoon, I see the 1620 road is plowed for eventual haul and the 3925 is plowed to the 1516 junction.  Incidentally; the 1516 is plowed as well probably for haul off the C Salvage units.

Dave Hannibal's report for the first day of winter follows;-)

>
> Sledheads, Ski Bums & Hipster Snowshoers
> Great snow to be had, get out there and get you some!
> I took cat one from Huddleston to High Lakes and back, picking up some odd pieces along the way and then hit the rail road grade from the 1648 all the way to the lower parking lot on my way back. This is a great trail if you have not taken it before as it has many earthen train tressels that are just... cool!
> The trail to High Lakes looks great and down below to the east toward Lake Creek the trails had seen a lot of use and were beat on pretty hard ;-) they are much better now but it will take one more pass on a lot of the trails to really smooth things out.
> Red on attached map is todays route.
> For the road numbers it looks like this: Huddleston to 101, 1648 064, 1648, 1640 to HL turnaround and down to the 16, east on the 16 to 1648 Rail grade 062, 070, 097 & 135 back.
> The trails are looking good with some getting hit for the second time now, temps were 20s to single digits and trails will be set up nice.
>
> Cheers and Merry Christmas to all.
