I got to the Parking area for Ings Mine Trailhead around 10:30am. The bridge over the creek on the trail was knocked out by the flood last year, so I headed north to see if there was another bridge I could use. I was stopped by a forestry worker who was warning everyone about a grizzly bear that was seen in the area. I then headed back south to Hwy 66 and parked on the side of the road on the other side of the creek. I headed into the forest and followed the trails and found several geocaches. The weather started turning and it began raining lightly. As I headed up the mountain it changed to a light snow fall. When I reached the "Tree Chopper Trail Cache", I followed the nearby trail to within 100 meters of the geohash. I then headed into the forest and bush whacked my way to ground zero. I took a couple of pictures and then returned to the trail. When I got back to the trail the weather had changed to a steady downpour. I walked another 2 km along the trails and collected three more geocaches before returning to my car.

Plans

Planned on driving to the Parking area for Ings Mine Trailhead on Range Road 62A around 10:00am. I was going to walk around the forest trails and find geocaches in the area. When I was near the "Tree Chopper Trail Cache" on Moose Mountain Rd, I was going to bush whack into the forest and get to the geohash.

Expedition

I got to the Parking area for Ings Mine Trailhead around 10:30am. The bridge over the creek on the trail was knocked out by the flood last year, so I headed north to see if there was another bridge I could use. I was stopped by a forestry worker who was warning everyone about a grizzly bear that was seen in the area. I then headed back south to Hwy 66 and parked on the side of the road on the other side of the creek. I headed into the forest and followed the trails and found several geocaches. The weather started turning and it began raining lightly. As I headed up the mountain it changed to a light snow fall. When I reached the "Tree Chopper Trail Cache", I followed the nearby trail to within 100 meters of the geohash. I then headed into the forest and bush whacked my way to ground zero. I took a couple of pictures and then returned to the trail. When I got back to the trail the weather had changed to a steady downpour. I walked another 2 km along the trails and collected three more geocaches before returning to my car.
