May 11th, up the Chewuch

Today we went north up the Chewuch Road to 30 mile. This area had a fire the summer of 2001. There were 4 firefighters that lost their lives in this fire. All because someone left a unattended fire. It burned over 9000 acres of forest land along with the 30 Mile Campground. There is a memorial on the way to the trailhead. The road needs work, a lot of wash board, trees, rocks, water over the road... at the very end, large area of water to make it to the trailhead.
