I went back to the area I drove through 2 weeks ago, to explore some of the side branches that I didn't have time to check out last time. The Chilliwack Bench FSR parallels the river for about 16km, and most of the side branches head up into tributary creeks feeding the river, leading to cut blocks of various ages. I like to glass over those that have enough new growth to be attractive to game animals, and that is what I did today, with no success in spotting anything bigger than a chipmunk. There was almost no traffic on the main FSR, only 4 other vehicles in 4 hours, and none at all on the branch trails. The weather was highly variable, with stiff breezes all day, and everything from rain and snow at higher elevations, to periods of sunshine. The snow didn't stick on the ground, so looking for tracks was a bit harder, but the trail surface was wet enough that anything really fresh would be quite obvious, but no luck at that, either. I only took one photo, to show the mature second growth forest that the main road passes through.
