While working on mapping the roads & trails in this area, I
watched the puddles and ponds get more and more ice on them. The
day I got to here everything was frozen solid - which made the
wetlands to the south of the cache site a lot easier to deal with.
I would not recommend that route (though I did take it on the way
out) unless you like walking on fallen trees above three foot deep
water and bushwhacking thru 6 foot high brush. But, gee, it was
only a couple of hundred feet... folly on top of folly.
There are three trail heads, but only one that isn't signed No
Trespassing (see additional waypoints). That makes it about a three
mile hike in - mostly on dirt road with mild elevation changes. The
terrain rating is for this route. If you don't have access to NW
Trails you should add a star to the difficulty, as it's not a
direct route. While the maps here on the cache page show some of
the old roads, they aren't complete or fully accurate.
The road turns into a track. The track got beaten into
submission by falling trees and became a trail. The trail gave up
the fight and died in the bushes. You're looking for a 50cal ammo
can some where near the 'graveyard'.
