| Location Bohemia National Recreation Trail Survey #2 |
| Where: Cottage Grove Ranger District, Umpqua National Forest |
After being gone traveling since the 10th of June, it was time for me to get back to work surveying trails for the Cottage Grove District. I had been hampered with wet weather and low snow levels before I left, but now the snow level has go way up and the trails are snow free. Today's plan was to finish the Bohemia National Recreation Trail. I had Jeanette drop me off at the upper end at the Shane Saddle Trailhead, and then I hiked back 6 miles to where we had left off on May 16th. Jeanette took the car and met me at various places where the trail crosses the road.

| Twin Rocks Shelter There are two primitive shelters along the trail, that I suspect were built by the CCC in the thirties, that provide some character to the trail. I doubt that I would chose to stay in them, they are usually prone to house rodents.

| repairing a trail sign I always find a few things that I stop to fix along the way. Lots of times it removing limbs from the trail, here it was straightening a post and replacing a part of the sign that had fallen off.

| end of six miles of trail There were no blow downs on this section of the trail, so this was an easy survey trip in the sense that I didn't have to stop and photograph and document locations. |
