Participants

Expedition

When we set out, we were thinking (based on Google maps/satelite imagery) that we would be able to drive nearly to the hash. But about 1.4 miles from the hash we encountered a locked gate. However, the sign beside the locked gate indicated that certain recreational uses of the land beyond were permitted, including hiking (during daylight hours only). So we parked the car and set out walking. It was a beautiful area for hiking through the forest, and we were able to find roads and/or trails which led is roughly the right direction. We saw signs of deer and bear, but the only wildlife we actually encountered were a frog and a lizard. It ended up taking 1.5 hours and roughly 2 miles of hiking with a fair bit of vertical travel (both up and down) to reach the hash. But we were successful. When we were almost to the hash, it started raining. It stopped again after only 10 minutes or so, but it began again shortly after we left the hash point, and continued for nearly the entire hike back to the car.
