 | Comments: |
Took the popular approach from the height of land on the driveable logging road (road becomes grassy almost instantly thereafter) via grassy older logging roads, then bushwhacked the rest of the way. Found herd paths off and on, but didn't have anything that was particularly a slam dunk the whole way to the canister. |
