As I begin the drive back toward the highway, I notice again that even the roadway is scenic. There are state approved campsites along this road:

We come again to the place where the clear cutting has opened up views which had formerly not been available. I guess clear cutting isn't all bad. As long as they don't build a housing development and a Wal-Mart here:
