Thanks for clearing the downed trees... Although, usually if you report them to a USFS office, with details, (location, diameter of tree/s, etc) they often get a fire crew/certified volunteer to hike in and buck it up.
Those guys (fire crews) generally enjoy doing that kind of work, and is actually a part of their pre-season conditioning training for most stations, and depend on these types of projects.

Yeah well since I am a certified volunteer (class B faller) and have well over 25+ years experience in these matters
I'd say I am qualified, but thanks for your concern
If they want to do some more down trees there are 5 down trees on the Vivian Creek trail above 10,000 ft all within ½ mile or so after the series of switchbacks above High Creek Cpgd these are all in the 18-20" range
Hiked up to Waterman today in the lightning & thunder & hail/snow.
It was so amazing. There were a few lightning started fires as well. One on the north side of Wilson and on west of Chilao and about 1/2 mile south of Bandido Camp.. I was on 3N17 and saw the smoke. I was about to report it when I cam around a bend and ANF Fire was there. A crew was hiking in to the fire area. In all, I heard of 4 lightning related fires in the Angeles today and a lot more were reported in the San Bernardino range.
