This time, we used a series of logging roads to get to the backcountry. It was an experiment in finding our way in a real maze...
If you have never been near a clearcut area of forest harvesting, you are in for a shock. It's like zooming in in a hay field after the mowing. Lots of things are knocked down in order to get to the valuable stuff.
We took a look at areas that were re-planted, probably only a few years ago. It still looks desolate.
This is an area of fresh logging, with older cuts in the background.
Then we found one of the entrances to a protected area, the Kludahk trail. A real haven of greenery, much cooler than the surrounding logged areas.
After a brief forest section, we ended up in bog area. Lovely place.

Job done! This puppy knows how to knot up his people!!!
