Spring 2024

June 10, 2024 by Bigfoot Trail Alliance 2 Comments

Our trip leaders and volunteers have been getting after it this spring. So far we have cleared, treaded, and lopped our way along almost 15 miles of trails in the Shasta-Trinity, Klamath, and Six Rivers national forests. (We will be heading to the Mendocino next week!)

What follows is a summary of the four trips we have completed this spring.

Six Rivers and Klamath National Forests

Wooley Creek

Our crew has visited twice allowing a tree and brush cleared trail from the trailhead to Skull Camp. We will return later this fall to clear all the way up to the Marble Rim.
STATS 12 miles cleared, brushed, and treaded

    Wife Kathy and I watched “sasquatchalypse now” just tonight. First time we heard of the BFT. We R rock hounds from So Cal mt baldy area and Bigfoot believers 10 on the scale. We moved to MO to find some wilderness, but now we miss the northwest coniferous forests. We may show up in camp one day, be warned!
