Feb 3 Road 27 and 28 Buckhorn

Not much in the way of turns to report but I did ski up 27 a few miles toward Mt Townsend. I was able to drive past the tunnel creek tunoff, past the lower Quilicene turn, past the popular lookout just before the gate but not much farther. The ruts got deep and I could hear things dragging. Higher clearance vehicles had gone much further. I skied up 27 until it began to lose altitude again and chose a spur to the right that kept heading uphill. This area seems to be suffering the same fate as the middlefork Snoq lately, the roads got too much snow for my car but not enough for the woods to be fun. Oh well I got some excercise and bombing back down roads is a fun day out sometimes. Since I had to get back to Poulsbo this afternoon it fit the schedule.
I had a little extra time to kill so I tried the back way to Townsend via 28. I got as far as the left turn on 27 where the sign says Townsend trailhead is 11 miles. 28 seemed to have more snow but the ruts weren't as deep, I think because some snowmachines had traveled up the middle of the road in the past.
I am still working out the access over here. Rain below 2k maybe something noteworthy for trip planning around these woods. It is fun exploring though.
