Exploring the Forest Roads Above Wilkeson, Washington - 09.17.07

[Steve]

Since most of what I needed to do at home required me to have dry weather to work on, I decided to take a ride to the forest lands above Wilkeson, Washington. Luckily for me, from my front door to the gravel forest roads of the Wilkeson Tree Farm (owned by Plum Creek) is exactly 20 miles. The drive time, depending on traffic will vary from 30-60 minutes. My goal was to explore Forest Service (FS) Road 7720. It had been a few years since my last visit to the area.

That is a neat drive. I took it on my way home from a Backroad Drivers road trip a few years ago and wished I had more time to enjoy my surroundings. The scenery came at the expense of massive clear cuts, but it is still easy on the eyes. You took some really nice photos, Steve, they are a pleasure to see and your trip report was a fun read. Thank you! And the little town of Wilkenson, what can you say but, "Neat!" I especially like the dome of the old Russian Orthodox Church.
