Location

In the hills east of Mt. Adams in Yakama country in a virgin graticule.

Participants

Plans

It's about four miles uphill from what I think is a paved road, in nearly uninhabited wooded hilly country in the west part of the Yakama reservation. DeLorme's Gazetteer and the (forty-year-old) USGS topo map like it at least.

Something like two of those miles are on some kind of road... probably gravel? Hopefully drivable in the Hyundai sedan. Then two more on what looks to be an ATV trail, though DeLorme's claims that it is in fact a road, and not even an "unimproved" road. Not counting on it being drivable, but it might. Walking shouldn't be that bad though.

Then a few dozen yards through the trees. Bringing heavy clothes in my pack this time to avoid the fate of my last expedition.

Graticule deflowered, if all goes well.
