Plans

Flew in from KY to PDX early and passed over a hash (Baker City, OR) on the way, and that got me ready to go.

Expedition

Short slow drive, uphill hike. The hash was just off a road on Google, but up here that doesn't mean much. Driving slow in the old Honda I got to within 3/4 mile of the spot. Solo and with no cell or 2 meter coverage I elected to walk the road rather than x-country it. Also the deep gorge between us. MORE TO COME SOON

Photos

The Honda only made it 7 miles and 1600 ft UP the road.
A walk of 1.7 miles and another 500 feet UP.
Past one little last patch of snow.
and 3 colors of trillium.
To a little 6-way crossroads.
The ipad numbers wouldn't get much closer than 14 ft off. And the camera wouldn't focus on the glare.
I swear the DeLorme said zero feet to go when I picked up the camera.
A screen capture of the track. Orange for the drive, green for the walk.
