 The cache is near the top of Awbrey Butte, an
extinct volcano in Bend. This is the hill with all the
communications towers in the northwest part of the city. Start
at Sylvan or Summit Park and walk uphill, some of it
moderately steep.
The closest approach is from Sylvan Park to the north (a small
neighborhood park at N 44° 04.762' W 121° 20.075'). Head south, up
hill and to the west of the chain link fence. Avoid nearby
residences. The site is usually accessible except during heavy
snow.
For a longer stroll (about a half mile), park to the east at
Summit Park (N 44° 04.522' W 121° 19.662') and take the trail from
the parking lot around the north side of the butte. Follow the
trail along the chain link fence to near Sylvan Park and continue
up hill.
Do not approach from the south up the paved access road because
a fence (new as of 7/22/05) will block your way to the cache. There
is no way around the fence without trespassing on private
property.
The cache is a clear 3-liter Rubbermaid container with a blue
top.

Find...
 Antenna forest from near cache.
Can you say "electro-magnetic radiation?" The GPS seems unaffected, though.
View of Pilot Butte to east.
Walk to the west side of Awbrey Butte to see the "other" prominent butte in Bend. Pilot Butte has a very popular trail and road to the top; walk up and see if you can spot its stealth antennas.

I put a new log sheet in the cache. Why would someone take the log book? That's nasty.
