Early activation obstacles

NS7P activation of Holland Point on 13 May 2016

I activated Holland Point, W7O/WV-017, on 13 May 2016. This is typically an easy hike to the top of the 1542 m (5057') Cascade foothill south of Cottage Grove, OR.  The directions are given below.  However, there can be obstacles early in the season before crews have cleared downed trees from the roads.  That was the problem I ran into.  There were downed trees not only on the gravel approach road, but on the paved through route that gets there.  There were patches of snow as well.
