A nice hike in the woods, only limited views along the way. Started at the "Exit 42" trailhead we have used several times. Followed Mason Creek up the hill to the Forest Service road to the Ira Springs trailhead. At the first big turn in the trail to Mason Lake, keep going straight on a faint trail through the trees. The first split in the trail goes back down to the freeway. We took this route on the way back. At the next split, take the left trail, Dirty Harry's Connector Trail. Right continues up the hill to Putrid Pete's Peak (P3). The trail traverses the hill side then intersects with the trail to Dirty Harry's Balcony, take a right. After a short distance, take another right at the main trail/old logging road and continue up the hill for about 0.6 miles. Just before crossing Museum Creek look for the old steel logging cable on the right, follow this into the bushes and find your way up hill for about 50 feet to a very old logging road. Follow the road up hill and you will come to the old boom truck.

Using a stick to try and get both boys to pose by the truck.
It didn't work, but they had fun.
The cairn, in front of the tree, to bushwhack back to the trail.
