Location

West of La Pine in the Deschutes National Forest.

Participants

Michael5000

Expedition

On a business/adventuring expedition, I woke up early in Bend and (after a quick stop for a bag of bagels) headed south on US 97 for a ways, and then southwest on well-paved Century Drive for another 14 miles or so. That got me to Forest Road 4258 and then immediately to 4258-100, which was really the first opportunity for the still new expedition vehicle to show its stuff in marginal-roads geohashing. I parked within a few hundred meters of the hashpoint, and from there it was just an easy (but cold!) dawn walk through the open forest of Central Oregon.

My second successful expedition to Deschutes County (after a 5-month lapse).
