It’s pretty much logged out yes. I was in there for work for about a week last fall.

No I didn’t stay at the resort. I went way past chataway just to find some timber. Clear cuts as far as the eye can see.

I've been going up there for years. It's very different from when we started 10 years ago. Low risk of wildfire up there, they've done a helluva job taking fibre out but; I think it's going to be years before this area is productive again. Used to see all manner of critters, but now it's moonscape with mostly cattle on the move. I will say it's beautiful in early summer with all the fronds and tiger lillies in bloom, that is a bonus from all the opening up that's occurred and should bode well for the future. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I'll try snipping a before/after satellite image in from Google.
