I wish I could write one of those great trip reports like WanderingDaisy or Pika or OregonMouse but this is not the case.
I recently had an opportunity to lead a shake-down hike through the Davey Crockett NF on the 4-C trail.
The forest suffered a fire a couple of years ago (can't remember if it was a prescribed burn or lightning) and last summer we had hurricane Ike with major winds through the area.

Hiking through this forest was surreal. It reminded me of "The Lord of the Rings" and the forests of of Mordor. You could still smell smoke and it was somewhat depressing.

Here's a link to the pic's

(I'm still trying to figure out how to post a pic from shutterfly account).
