Small spiral notepad for logging your high altitude visit
No oxygen bottle is here for those who may experience high altitude delerium. And please note: if you see Job, you are on the wrong peak. Bring a camera for a great panoramic view of the Carson Valley area, Hope Valley, and a grand view of Lake Tahoe and its surrounding peaks. Rising only 67 feet higher is Freel Peak which is easily accessed in less than an hour along a sandy ridge to the west. If you decide to hike on over to Freel Peak, please visit my virtual cache "Freel Peak". You can also visit my other cache on Jobs Peak which is about a 30 minute hike from Jobs Sister.
