Lots of interesting snags on the shoreline. In several places there would be a row of little pilings like sometime in the past there had been a tug boat on the lake, but I saw no evidence of past logging along the lake. Clear cuts to the west were visible from the lake.

Here's my destination. In 1903 the Norwegian ship Prince Arthur (formerly the British 240' steel clipper Hoghton Tower, built 1869, and sailed around Cape Horn 5 times with officer Earnest Shackleton) was wrecked here with the loss of 18 sailors. The two who survived got to walk aimlessly through the same woods I did. Spotting smoke from a cabin, they found homesteaders Iver, Ole, and Tron Birkestol, all from Norway, so there was no language barrier. The local Makah took the survivors by ocean canoe to Clallum Bay.

More of the trail looked like this. It's straight ahead. By getting down on my hands and knees I could see the old trail and climb under the brush. There were huge patches of windfall that I didn't stop to photo. I didn't want to get distracted and lose the trail. Someone else had the same idea and put a piece of pink survey tape here.
