The Tells Peak B-17C Airplane Wreck

We hiked to the Tells Peak B-17C Airplane Wreck today. It was a great hike out to the site. We went from the Bassi Falls trail side and it was about 6.6 miles round trip. The plane is remarkably well preserved but has been vandalized excessively. We hiked with an Forest Service Archeologist and I think she was surprised at the amount of damage on the plane.
