A century later, I drove through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest on my way to climb Mount Hood, and found the place in tatters. Roads are closed, or in disrepair. Trails are washed out. The campgrounds, those that are open, are frayed and unkempt. It looks like the forestry equivalent of a neighborhood crack house. Last year, a San Francisco man died because of the deferred maintenance that the article discusses. He and his family had been visiting up in Seattle. On their way back to San Francisco, they got lost and it started to snow. They some how go into a national park and turned into a road that is normally closed in the winter because its not traversable. Normally, the road is blocked with chains in winter to prevent access. However, vandals had cut the chains and taken them along with a sign. They never got replaced. The family went down the road and got stuck. After a few days they had no food left and had burnt everything burnable to stay warm. So the father took off on foot to see if he could get help. He got lost and died.
