Hiking to Cabin on bannon creek close to Holland Lake

A good Day for a hike and getting my hiking gear on and my trusty friend Buddie, although I dont now what he would do if he met something bigger then him. We started our hike by cutting through Stocking Creek Park and going to the hwy which we crossed by South Watts Rd to keep on hiking along this road which turns into Bannon creek forestry rd, getting to the top of the road , we made a  right turn heading in a northern direction, to get this far it is a sharp climb , for the next couple of k.m its a gradual up hill going for a good km you make a left turn unto an other trail which has an ascend till the end of this road then it turns into an steep quad trail to get this far it takes about ten to fifteen min for every k.m you hike ,and im wondering how they maneuver  this trail  with their quads because some of it is even hard to hike.This trail probably takes about an half hour to climb . once you come to the top of this trail you get out of the forest  and the trail levels of and is more open having to skirt a couple of puddles and a creek you get in the logged of area by Holland Lake and a nice road appears which you follow till you get to the first logging road on the right which you follow till the bridge and on the right side I found this trail which you follow till you get to a refurbished log cabin and its time for a cup off tea.Its pretty quit out here and  you are away from houses and people so you have to have be aware of your surroundings and were you are. And then the trail down hill which went uneventful although when I was bush whacking through an unmarked trail my classes kind of disappeared from my face and spending time looking for them wasn't helpful either , How the heck are you supposed to see if your blind maybe  some bear or what ever is up there will be wearing them, but I made it  home.
