Plans

Planned on driving to the Parking area for Ings Mine Trailhead on Range Road 62A around 10:00am. I was going to walk around the forest trails and find geocaches in the area. When I was near the "Tree Chopper Trail Cache" on Moose Mountain Rd, I was going to bush whack into the forest and get to the geohash.

Expedition

I got to the Parking area for Ings Mine Trailhead around 10:30am. The bridge over the creek on the trail was knocked out by the flood last year, so I headed north to see if there was another bridge I could use. I was stopped by a forestry worker who was warning everyone about a grizzly bear that was seen in the area. I then headed back south to Hwy 66 and parked on the side of the road on the other side of the creek. I headed into the forest and followed the trails and found several geocaches. The weather started turning and it began raining lightly. As I headed up the mountain it changed to a light snow fall. When I reached the "Tree Chopper Trail Cache", I followed the nearby trail to within 100 meters of the geohash. I then headed into the forest and bush whacked my way to ground zero. I took a couple of pictures and then returned to the trail. When I got back to the trail the weather had changed to a steady downpour. I walked another 2 km along the trails and collected three more geocaches before returning to my car.
