_JFR_:
007 I may have spent a cold night in the Rav4 just outside the Buckhorn Campground, then got on my eBike just after dawn
_JFR_:
013 I headed west from Buckhorn CG to Cloudburst Summit on Highway 2 via eBike, and passed by the Waterman Ski Area
_JFR_:
014 It was a fast 700 ft ascent on the eBike on Highway 2 from the Buckhorn Campground to Cloudburst Summit
_JFR_:
018 Sign at Cloudburst Summit showing the Bobcat Fire Closure Map - this area was still closed, officially, but no one cared
_JFR_:
022 I found a spot below Highway 2 at Cloudburst Summit, locked the eBike to a tree, and hid the battery behind a rock
_JFR_:
024 View northeast from the PCT near Cloudburst Summit, with burnt trees from the Bobcat Fire all around this spot
_JFR_:
027 Some trail work has already been done along the PCT near Cloudburst Summit, felling and cutting the burned trees
_JFR_:
029 In early March 2022, there was still some residual snow on north-facing slopes on the PCT at 7000 feet elevation
_JFR_:
053 Looking back toward Highway 2 at Cloudburst Summit - you can see that many trees did NOT burn in the Bobcat Fire
_JFR_:
062 For a closed area, there sure are a lot of footprints in the snow on the PCT near Cloudburst Summit
_JFR_:
063 Looking north toward Pleasant View Ridge - you can see where the Bobcat Fire in 2020 did and didn't burn
_JFR_:
064 Looking east from the PCT with Mount Baden Powell in the distance, and Bobcat Knob in the foreground, center
_JFR_:
065 Zoomed-in view of Mount Baden Powell (left) and Throop Peak (right of center) from the PCT near Cloudburst Summit
_JFR_:
075 The Bobcat Fire really torched everything on this uphill slope along the PCT north of Cloudburst Summit
_JFR_:
087 Looking down at Cooper Canyon Trail Camp from the Pacific Crest Trail - Silver Moccasin Trail
_JFR_:
100 View of residual snow above the flowing creek in Cooper Canyon, from the Pacific Crest Trail
_JFR_:
102 New willows had grown since the Bobcat Fire in 2020, and were just beginning to bud in March 2022 in Cooper Canyon
_JFR_:
104 The pine trees had burned completely to the crowns on the slope above Cooper Canyon on the PCT from the Bobcat Fire
_JFR_:
106 Looking back up Cooper Canyon and the new willows two years after the Bobcat Fire swept through this area on the PCT

125 Partly burned cedar tree standing tall and alive in Cooper Canyon as I continue south on the PCT
_JFR_:
131 I crossed the creek in Cooper Canyon and came to the intersection of the PCT and the Burkhart Trail (10W02)
_JFR_:
140 I decided to head further downstream to check out Cooper Canyon Falls, and found a fixed rope leading downward
_JFR_:
149 The Burkhart Trail was still icy with residual snow down in Cooper Canyon thanks to a north-facing slope
_JFR_:
154 Video of the small creek flowing downstream from the Buckhorn Campground along the Burkhart Trail
_JFR_:
161 The Bobcat Fire tore through this section of the Burkhart Trail - the pines were totally dead
_JFR_:
163 I was glad I waited a week since it snowed before hiking on the Burkhart Trail - there was good footing along here
_JFR_:
165 Goodykoontz Peak was mostly burned by the Bobcat Fire but the summit remained covered in live pine trees
