All the ways you tried and off that road didn't work for you. The top bridge road there and see if there's another, something else that dives down. Fender that's missing on the front. Over that way as you're making your way down. Like it's going to work you over there right as you go into the timber back into the timber there. Yeah (name withheld) that on the road right off to your right as you're coming into the timber there that appears to be the one that's going to take you right to the fire over right above it so it might have to open up with dozer. Side of that, that's about the only option I see as far as the road getting up above it. The only other options is they come all the way back down here to the bottom through this unit and hike in. So opening that up, get the dozer up here and open that up, give you some good access.
