| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Some kind of deep puddles near beginning of long logging road drive. Cars with low clearance will want to be cautious the further out they go. Parked at the same place as last year...probably wouldn't be wise to attempt to drive further, even though the road has been used recently - some slash and waterbars to contend with otherwise. |

| Comments: |
Parked at same place as last year. Popular logging road walk approach was been relogged in the past year - plenty of random logging roads heading up the mountain now. Following the general direction of the diagonal one should work - don't take the first grassy fourwheeler trail on the right. Continue up the diagonal logging road, which will become a grassy fourwheeler trail (after leaving the logged area), and then the boundary swath will eventually be reached. Found herd path generally easy to follow all the way to the canister. |
