Location

Part of the way up some bluffs by a creek, about 2 miles SSW of Virginia Dale, CO

Participants

Plans

According to the county parcel locator, the hash point is on "state school land," and my paper atlas shows the area as public state land, so in theory, the point should be accessible. However, it looks like the dirt track that heads toward the point crosses some private property, so it may take a little creative maneuvering to get there. I'm planning to head to the spot later this afternoon, aiming to drive as close to the point as I can (without passing any no trespassing signs) and walking the rest of the way from there. It's also hard to tell exactly how substantial this creek is from the aerial images, so that may pose another obstacle. I have some shopping to do, so I might not make it by 4:00 PM, but I'll try to get there in the 4:00-6:00 time frame at least.
