Location

Right in the middle of Forest Service Road 45, just west of Sunriver.

Participants

Expedition

We noticed that this was a very easy hashpoint to reach from where we were, so we got into the truck to take a quick swing by. Unfortunately, the truck didn't start, so we needed to wait for my mother to get back home with the other car that could handle the weather.

Once she did, we headed out. The road was very slick, and we skidded a bit on back roads. The hashpoint was, as expected, easy to reach by car as it was in the middle of a road. We tried to find a place to pull out to reach the hashpoint on foot, but side roads were inaccessible and the road was heavy with traffic from Mt. Bachelor anyway so we just headed home.
