Off Wind River Rd. in So. WA.
Participants
Plans
No plan, I just ended up there. It got latter in the day and there was no rain, and it was close.
Expedition
Short drive, vertical hike. Looking at the USGS DOQQ there appeared to be an old road above but it wasn't accesable. I couldn't park on Wind River Rd below the spot and had to park about 1/2 mi away. Rather than going in where I parked and trying to catch the logging rd I walked up Wind River Rd until I was just below the spot & crosscountried it, 380 vertical feet. I did this because directly across the rd was a trailhead going down (190 ft) to the river. A 2fer. And finding a survey marker on the way up made it a 3fer. I think about 3 mi of walking total.

On Wind River Rd, where I wanted to be.
Just climb the hill, old man. And no bitching.
There was a road up here, it just didn't come down.
I programmed in the red X, the arc is the GDOP, the 10 ft is the scale.
Here is my track overlaying the DOQQ imagery.

I like the momument on a stick. I found no brass disk.
