Thanks to Craig Jensen for the update below. What next? We've just lost Riverview, Scapoose, Glade trail and now Ravens... There are several other areas I'm riding a lot now because I know they are next. All the while BC continues building more and more epic trails. I think the question for me now is how do I get Canadian citizenship?!
Have FUN!

Here's an update on my last post about downed trees on Ravens Ridge. This response is from the ODF Ranger that is responsible for the Tillamook State Forest.
"I just learned that the project work associated with the timber sale has started. Project work includes the construction or improvement of roads that will be used during timber harvest activity. The trail will be impacted in 5 places by new spur road crossings and in one place the road will essentially parallel or be placed over the trail. They have started right of way cutting for at least one of the new spur roads
The contract references the trail and signing and communication required when work is going to start. Unfortunately I was not informed the work was going to start and the operator and contact administrator have not posted signing about the work and trail closure. I will be heading up there this afternoon to assess the work and post the trail closed. We will also get the trail closure info up on our website. I will also let Brad (trail manager) know that work has started. If you can help spread the word as well that would be helpful.
At this point I don’t know how the flow of project work is going to take place. The trail may be closed from this point forward and until all project work and timber harvest activity is complete. Which could be a year or more. I will try to get a better feel for that next week.
The timber harvest around the two sections of the trail that are impacted is a clearcut harvest."
Have FUN!
