High in the mountains above Nelson, the indefatigable Doug Thorburn has discovered blazes that mark a forgotten trail. The purpose of the trail is unclear, but it passes through a fine old–growth stand of cedar hemlock.
Some blazes are still visible, although the growing trees are slowly engulfing the writing. One seems to read: “Johnson, FATE, 1938”. Does anyone have any insights into this mystery?
Below are four of Doug’s pictures.
