If it's the trail I'm thinking James Baisdon ( sp. ) trapped that from your side and Brian Aspland aka Doug Dill came in from the other side. Good country for sure.................................

Doug Dill now there's a name from the past.
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

I think your pretty close and would guess 20 or so years ago. John Hendrickson and Jimmy Gelvin took it over from John Baisdon and they said it hadn't been trapped for about ten or so years before them but I'm not sure exactly when they took it over. I think they only went as far as the creek, maybe a couple miles past. For awhile they were going to the creek and then down the creek to Gordon Bertisons old cabin but quit running that stretch due to bad overflow. Some of the traps I've found over the years are form the 20's and 30's and no doubt have been transferred from trapper to trapper as the lines were sold. Hope you find some oldies out there. These old traplines have stories and names of those that came before us, I've tried to write things down after talking with some of the oldtimers so that the history doesn't die and so I can pass it on. Sadly these old timers are leaving us but even sadder is that no one is filling in the void and there is a lot of empty country out there now. Glad you guys are breathing life back into that old trail........................................
