Thanks for the update Alistair.
My intel was ~two years old.
As Timber West has retreated, they have removed the locks from 
many of the previously locked access roads on their tree farm licence lands.

Nice photos…
Note to Tevor.
Welcome to the West Coast and land of the Clear Cut.
Gain access and opens the view… (dons flame suit).

Trevor, do you drive on gravel roads with your Van?

The other explored further. Will attach pics of latter, will make to Trevor and Phil, but not to list.

Decided it was maybe not going to be very quiet so moved on down the lake.  Found a nice place to park for a couple days.  North flag marker was the campsite and took the dog for a bike ride down to the south and west flags."
