That&#8217;s a lot of work on a near-daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone reading this post worked spent some time on that trail improvement, I&#8217;d be interested to hear your thoughts when you encounter what&#8217;s virtually a trail closure like this, after you&#8217;ve spent weeks of your hard work.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_172\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mdvaden.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/log600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-172\" class=\"size-full wp-image-172\" alt=\"Tall Trees Grove Redwood National Park\" src=\"http:\/\/mdvaden.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/log600.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdvaden.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/log600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mdvaden.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/log600-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tall Trees Grove<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For you visitor folks &#8230; hope you have a chance to see it someday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June, 2013, the\u00a0 road was closed to Tall Trees Grove,\u00a0 indefinitely.
