Location

Off of Oregon Highway 203, northeast of Baker City.

Participants

Expedition

Approaching Baker City from the north on I-84, we turned off on the "Medicine Springs Highway" and drove a few miles east to where the road starts to climb out of the Powder River Basin. The hashpoint was in sagebrush a short walk up from the road; the gate would have been a pain to unlatch and relatch twice, but it was easy enough to duck under the barbed wire. Mrs.5000 was tracking mud for a little while, but it was all worth it for some nice views and of course the thrill of reaching the hashpoint.
