Went up the logging road from Brewer's Corner. Decided to turn into the woods from the second cairn after the last stream crossing at 3400'. Set course to the top and was in and out of herd paths all the way up. The canister is in good shape. On the way down followed a good herd path most of the way, came out at the third cairn at 3600'. Took a right at that point and had to double back when I realized my error. Going in from the second cairn is a good idea, avoids bushwhacking the steepest parts. Most of the forest up top is fairly open and easy to navigate. |
