I was exploring a section of George Bush Park that did not have any listed caches. I had never been in this area before and I decided to see what was there. As usual, the terrain was flat as a pancake. I was then surprised to come across a section of land that rose up above the surrounding plain. I thought this unusual feature deserved a cache and the name Mt. Bush. When you come to this area be sure to catch nearby Little Lake Solitude and Big Lake Solitude caches. There is room for a lot more caches in this area so come prepared to drop some off.
Mt. Bush looms in the distance.

If you check out the area on Google Earth you will see trails running through the area. They are easy to negotiate either walking or on a trail bike if it has not rained lately. If you come in from the north entrance along the bayou (29 42.791/95 43.404) you will have about a 3 mile round trip from the cache to Mason Rd. If you come in from the south (29 42.303/95 43.275) you will be able to pull into a dirt road along FM 1093 about 100 yards east of Grand Mission Blvd., just past an orange building. You can drive up to a gate and then have about an easy 0.4 mile round trip to the cache. Be sure to bring your rope, carabiners, pitons, harness and oxygen tanks as you scale west Houston's highest mountain.
