Subject: Hospital Hill Trail(s) closure - SDS logging operation

All,

SDS lumber has started a logging operation on the top of Hospital Hill. As
a result they have closed their lands in the area to ALL recreational
usage. This closure will be in affect till at least June 1, 2013. It all
depends on when they get the operation finished.

They are very serious about wanting everyone to stay out of the area. Much
of the work will be done with cable haul machinery - this means
that huge trees may be moving with little noise. They do not want anyone to
get hurt.

To see the map of their lands and what is closed and their official
statement one can go here:

Please note that they are not logging all their lands on the map (red
overlay on map) however ALL their lands identified on the map are closed.

Please respect that this is their land that they let us recreate on most of
the year.

Basically the back side of Hospital Hill and the Top area are closed

Short List (not all) of trails affected:

- The back side - Evergreen Highway / Spring St trail is closed above
the wooden gate half way up
- Triple Bypass
- Monkey Trail
- Hector Connector
- White Knuckles
- Cortez
- Crazy Fingers
- Everything by and around the two barbed wire gates at the top of
Hospital Hill

If you are climbing up the front side please go straight at the salt lick
or right at the three-way intersection heading SE towards the bench.

A distribution will be made once the are is open again.

Thank You

Douglas Van Zandt
