Last time I was up there was about 2 weeks ago and they were pulling logs off that road. They were also loggin were the 9 and 8 road meet just before the orv park if you are coming in from scott turner rd.Goob luck and dont forget if you get way back in there you might be gettin into Kaposin tree farm so be careful they do watch there land closely during the hunting season.
