Just heard trail closed for logging going into gay. Was wandering [sic] if this is true. …

And I wonder where you were wandering, down the trail to Gay, perhaps?

Oh, a newbie! Welcome weav309, to the JD forum!
You will meet a bunch of nice folks here — in spite of the above snide remarks.
(And welcome to the occasional wise-aѕѕ observations of "professor" Nash (Nothin' personal, all in fun, of course.)

Parenthetically, not a criticism, but more random musing on one of my favorite topics — "Fun with English":

Every time I see someone write:
"I was wondering …"
I find myself fighting an urge to ask: "Are you still wondering?"

What's fascinating to me is how often folks use this "past progressive" tense (and I see it most often with folks from other parts of the world, such as India, for example) rather than the much simpler present tense:
"I wonder… "

As an amateur linguist & philologist, I 'wonder' why that is/where that comes from?

Trail 122 is closed for logging. You can still access the Dreamland trail from Lake Linden but DO NOT go beyond. You can take Trail 124 to get to Gay.

from here: http://www.keweenaw.info/trail-conditions-62/

From what I've gathered it's expected to be closed all season.

122 has been closed all season. You can still get into Gay via other trails though.
