With the advent of the cordless Sawzall you are going to see more of this vandalism. If this spur led to the Rogue River it could have been fishermen looking for Steelhead or Salmon...

Could be but a real popular area for fishermen (Rainy Falls) is just up the river from there and is just a short hike from the Merlin-Galice Rd. I've taken that hike more than a few times to watch the salmon jump up the falls. A few miles down from Rainy falls is the lodge that is off Bear Creek.
