MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – Operations are underway on the Log Springs timber sale about 14 miles southwest of Paskenta on the Mendocino National Forest.

Hauling may start this week and continue into July with an estimated 12 to 15 truckloads a day.

Trucks will be hauling from the sale area, southeast on the M9 Road, to the M9/County Road 55 junction, then down County Road 55 to the M4 Road and off the forest. There will also be some water truck traffic on M4.

Travelers need to be extra cautious on County Road 55 between the M4 and M9 roads as there are many blind corners.

Please watch for traffic signs along the haul route and logging activity signs around the sale area.
