I just about cried . . .

I love(d) the dense, dark, old growth forest along the trail up to the
Cathedral Tree. Now, I was greeted by the sound of a chainsaw.
Apparently (according to a city guy I talked to) the fire control
water main for the east side of Astoria comes through here and is now
broken and exposed for about 75 feet. They're hurriedly moving the
huge fallen trees to fix it ASAP and the trail now resembles a logging
road.
