On Monday the 18th of December, Sego Loop at  Park Creek was declared free from downfall from end to end with over 100 trees pulled from the trail that day. Additional grooming to clean up the trail before expected overnight snow is planned for Tuesday, the nineteenth. Many thanks go out to to renowned woodsman and legendary figure, Rob Beck, Adam, the first man at Park Creek and Daniel, master sawyer and forest server, who all worked on this  major project. At Alturas Lake, the Trail to the Lake as far as the bridge, Over the Hill, Wapiti, Sheep Thrills, South Loop and North Cabin were all groomed on Monday. The Ginzu groomer was used for the first time this season and will be moved across the creek to put finishing touches on the trail to the lake on Tuesday. Some sagebrush on the trail by highway 75 was trimmed and snow was shoveled on bare spots to make the first two hundred yards appear a bit less scary.
