I took a drive up there today and here's a couple of random thoughts:
Very quiet up there as usual. I mentioned I drive up there every Saturday and never see more than a car or two. I did see a couple of cyclists
The first search tape I saw was on Skyline, South of Moreland Road
Almost all the logging roads are marked with blue gates and a sign on the front. I took pictures of a few so you can see the sign too. Several of them had search tape next to them.
I didn't realize Dixie Mountain Road (both the upper and lower road) are all gravel, dirt and mud. Darn, I had just gotten my car washed yesterday. If someone was up that far, their car/truck would be covered in mud as it was very wet in June of 2010.
I saw no sign of "official" searching however I did notice two vehicles parked near one of the logging roads with the blue gate on Rocky Point Road.
The temperature was between 39 and 41 degrees close to noon.
I took a few pics of towers. One had a large "ball" on it and I have no idea what it is. PGE?? Didn't see markings but will try and find something online.
Not many pics for you. You can't pull over in many spots so I didn't take pictures of all the search tape but there was a fair amount.
