" i've always thought it was strange how grays harbor has so many rivers, so few people, and so much posted land."


Worked for the W for 38 years and the answer is ....... vandalism, trash dumping by the pick up load, and safety. Bear Gulch near Hoquiam was a poster child. Another was the Melborne A line near the highway and the CB markers were upper or lower dump. The simplest solution was to gate off and as Weyco has sold off holdings the new owners do not have any desire to put up with the problems the public access bring. If you have a side working a temporary gate well away from the landing on open roads or hell you will have nothing left in a week.

As for safety try getting a loaded truck stopped as you come around a corner and meet your local black berry picker looking over the side for a picking spot totally unaware they have loaded truck coming at them. Even more fun is kids and dirt bikes ripping up the road.
