Location
Just off of Highway 26, twenty-five miles north of Warm Springs.
Participants
Expedition
The Expedition started with an airport dropoff at the unholy hour of 5 a.m., the reasoning being that if I had to be up at that time anyway I might as well take advantage of the empty roads and continue another scenic sixty miles in the same direction to pick up an accessible hashpoint in a new graticule. So that's what I did.
The hashpoint is a short ways up an embankment from a minor dirt road, perhaps 150 meters off the highway. The forest air smelled great in the cool of the morning.
