Location

Off I-90 near the Kachess Dam.

Participants

Expedition

From 2022-07-06 47 -122, we hopped back on Highway 18, got snarled in traffic on a "quick stop" for gasoline and coffee, and then got rolling again and eastbound on I-90.

There isn't much lowland between Seattle and the Cascade Mountains, so we started uphill into the forest pretty immediately. It's a beautiful road, really, and I haven't often had reason to drive it, so it definitely constituted a nice drive in the country. To get to the hashpoint we had to overshoot a little, then backtrack a mile or so from the nearest exit, and then drive a short stretch down the Kachess Dam Road. Things looked a little grim for a moment, as we could see from the car that there was a steep plunge from the road into a pond, but happily the hashpoint wasn't down there. We were able to walk a few minutes through the damp forest to a little hill that our three GPS units eventually agreed was the place to be. It was a lovely forest environment, strangely noisy from freight traffic on the nearby interstate.

We continued on towards 2022-07-06 46 -119.
