Location

Today's spot is about 2 1/4 mi walk, up about 2400 ft from the end of Herman Creek Rd in Cascade Locks, OR

Participants

kydlt

Plans

My topo map shows a trail most of the way there. And a road that goes up to a trailhead only about 2 1/2 miles from the hash. The cross-country leg looks to be less than 1000 ft on a traverse, so (famous last words) a pretty easy crossing. Looks to be woods.

Expedition

Thwarted.

The road to the trailhead was gated, parking there and walking in would have added another mile, I guessed. I drove around and found a different trailhead that would have taken me up trail 406 Herman Creek Trail and would have added a little more walking, but it needed a parking permit, and that was in the other car.

But I walked up the trail a little ways anyway, tempting the wilderness parking police as much as I dared, then went to Cascade Locks and walked around the park.

Photos

Most expeditions start at this most excellent crossing.
I went up far enough to know that I did find the right place.
Other people were here before us. There is only so much that can be done with a pocket camera.
From the WA side. Technically it's a cantilever through truss.

Achievements

No Trespassing (without a permit...)

-Here I go again, messing with the wiki.  I was beginning to think that I might be getting how to do it, but then took a couple weeks off and now I don't remember anything.  So, I'll start with some text and start trying to pull it together.
-Today's spot is about 2 1/4 mi walk, up about 2400 ft from the end of Herman Creek Rd in Cascade Locks, OR.  My topo map shows a trail most of the way there.
-Let's see if I can find the templates and make this page look like it ought too.
