interesting that this is true for most places in the PNW. Most forest roads are built on ridgetops as its easiest to construct there.Salmon Huckleberry wilderness. If you're lost, walk uphill!
Im amazed by how many people hunt, hike etc that do not know how to use a GPS or map and compass or carry them.Agree on the map and compass but they are nearly useless unless you are trained to use them.
