This is the main access into the bottom of the Southside network. Rather than park across South Lakeside Drive as indicated by the "P", most locals are now parking in the NE corner of the Walmart Parking lot, which saves a punchy initial climb. Cross the road and drop in just to the right of the bus stop shelter, then take the trail to the right. Best climbing route is as follows: after the clearcut, fork left onto 2 Fridges, then right onto Leppard Spots then climb to Wine Jug. From the top, following the Moose Track line top to bottom makes a fun descent.

2 trees down. Significant size. One is on the middle the second fun dip on upper portion. Can't see it until you're on it.

      Cleared a bunch of trees from storm but still two that will need to be cleared with a saw.
