Location
Less than half a mile off a road in the Bighorn National Forest.
Participants
Tankgunk and his sister.
Plans
Tankgunk and his sister drove up into the forest after work and gave it a shot. Also, we took a (slightly) better camera than last time and went during daylight.
Expedition
It was about a half hour drive to the edge of the forest, and then another hour long drive to the "road closed" sign on Forest Route 227. Spent a bit of time backtracking, and ended up driving down a larger road to the head of Forest Route 226. About 2000ft from the hash point, we left the car on the other side of a stream and headed out along the road on foot. Fooled around with the camera, took pictures of the stream running along the road, etc. About the time when we were right across from the hash point, we realized that we couldn't cross the stream safely. We could have gotten around it at a fork near the spot where we parked, but it would have taken too long; we were out of daylight. Still had fun, though, and got some cool pictures while we were driving home.
Photos
Planned route in red, actual route in orange.
Why we didn't take Forest Route 227...
Where we started on foot, about 2000ft from the point.
Fording the stream.
"Hurry and take the picture, it's freaking cold!"
After crossing the stream.
"Hold on, there's something in my flip flop."
Playing with the camera.
Ohai stream!
Giving the stream a thumbs up.
Just over 1200ft from the point now.
Where the point was, about 300ft over.
Still taking pictures of the stream.
And then we realized we weren't equipped to cross it >.<
Driving back out, found this funny. Dunno why.
Awesome sunset under the storm clouds.
Thought these clouds were awesome. They kinda aren't.
My favorite picture from the whole thing.
Just driving home...
