waggler OP trapper W Joined: Jan 2008 Alaska and Washington State	So the State of Washington just condemned a 103 year old bridge that is the only public access into an area of over 100,000 acres of timberland and public land. We have a few hundred acres in the middle of this area, along with a deeded easement from Weyerhaeuser across private roads that connect with now closed public roads that access our property. The State even closed the bridge to bicycles and pedestrians. Of course this is all punitive, in an effort to get the citizens to support higher taxes. Yes, I am gloating a little.

waggler OP trapper W Joined: Jan 2008 Alaska and Washington State	Originally Posted by Trapper Dahlgren so how do you access your land, ? different bridge? Three different gates on 15 miles of private timberland before then getting back on public road through USFS land. It takes a little longer but the drive is nice. The reason the bridge is in bad shape is due to deferred maintenance. The State hasn't put a gallon of paint on it in 50 years. They use all the gas tax money on bike lanes, high speed rail, and transit. And the environmentalists have been pushing for 30 years to "re-wild" this area. "My life is better than your vacation"

I found this short history video of the bridge and area for any bridge/history fanatics on here. "My life is better than your vacation"
