I spent Friday and Saturday on Fordyce. Friday, FOF and the Forest service went up to 40k hill (previously known as winch hill .5) and we blew up some rocks to make a by pass aroud this section. 40k is where I rolled my TJ. We only cleared one side and left the extreme line on the right as you are going up. Saturday Sue and I went to WH4 and back and it only took us about 5 hours. WH 4 is 95% of the way to Meadow lake.

Here is a link to some video I shot of one of the rocks we blew up 😈

Pretty cool to have a hill named after you! Good video.

I like that the Fordyce is being managed proactively so the trail remains in tact, where a bypass is created but the original trail remains...

A little TNT ( or Plastic C4) and you have a new path. Very cool!
