[edit] Location
Off Wind River Rd.

[edit] Plans
No plan, I just ended up there. It got late in the day and there was no rain, and it was close.
[edit] Expedition
Short drive, vertical hike.
Looking at the USGS DOQQ there appeared to be an old road above but it wasn't accessible. I couldn't park on Wind River Rd below the spot and had to park about 1/2 mi away. Rather than going in there and trying to catch the logging road I walked up Wind River Road 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.

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.
T4N. R7E. Sec 25
I like the monument on a stick. I found no brass disk.
Just across the road from where I walked up to the hash was a trail going down to Wind River. (I misnamed the jpg, if you happen to look at the metadata.)
