So I decided to take a break from rust work today, and took the truck I've been putting together for my sister out for a run. It's an 88 toy, bit of a pile at the moment but it works.
I threw on the tires from the cruiser and grabbed some gear and headed for sooke.
Tugwell is one of my favourite places to go in the summer and I've heard that at least 2 of the ways in I knew about have been dug up. So this trip was to check out a the area.
We went to the start of butler main, I heard there is a new bypass someplace, but the gate was actually open today so we drove right in.
We checked out the bottom of can-opener and walked up it a bit. I have never looked at the whole thing before. most of it doesn't seem too bad, except a few annoyingly place large rocks, and one really nasty part.
Then went to the dugouts where tugwell meets butler. If anyone hasn't been there in the last year they have made this totally impassable.
Large holes where the mounds used to be.
And a new log right at the creek
But it looks like the quad guys have been at it. There's a new trail cut that bypasses all the digouts. It's pretty steep on the entrance and exit but is not too bad for the upper part, just a lot of sticks still. Unfortunately I don't think it's useful, the one entrance is so steep I wouldn't want to try it without being locked or just using a winch. And then you would still have to get up over the rocks which doesn't look fun.
