I arrived at 12:00 noon. I parked at the Boulton Creek Trading Post. I grabbed my bear spray (Grizzly bear country out here) and headed north on the trail beside the parking lot.

Participants
Plans
I see today there is a point I can reach in another graticule, which I need to help accomplish the Minesweeper geohash achievement. I plan to drive out there around 10:00 am and I should arrive around 12:00 noon. I will take a couple of pictures of the geohash area and then search for two nearby geocaches. If all goes well I should be back home around 3:00 pm

The forest opened up a bit and I was able to take a couple of pictures of the area. I then headed back to the trail and went searching for the nearby geocaches in the area. I found one by the trading post fairly easily, but I had to give up on finding the second one as the area it was in was too marshy to slog through for 300 meters.
