Memaloose Creek where it crosses the 45 road Trail sign at the bottom of the trail Interesting girdled trees - we think these were probably cable points for the logging up the hill to the north. Remnants of old trail sign on Memaloose trail We figured out this is the old trail alignment - it put out you a bit north of the existing trail alignment A poem we found near Memaloose lake Me enjoying the view at Memaloose Lake We couldn't figure out if this was an old fire ring or maybe some old outhouse - it was kind of odd On the way back up to southfork mountiain, we had this beautiful sunbeam On the way back up to southfork mountiain, we had this beautiful sunbeam On the way back up to southfork mountiain, we had this beautiful sunbeam On the way back up to southfork mountiain, we had this beautiful sunbeam Mt Hood hiding in the clouds Ollie and Thor playing in the snow on Southfork Mountain Mt Jefferson from a rocky outcropping near the Southfork Mountain lookout Panorma from a rocky outcropping near the Southfork Mountain lookout I think this is Fish Creek Mountain Who's poo is this?
