Geocache Description:

First of 3 in SE Oregon for a HATRICK. 3 Forks in the Owhyee Uplands is a cool place to visit. The climb is relatively easy. I had to use my hand to pull me up in 1 or 2 places. The rest is basically advanced stair stepping.

This cache is located at the top of 3 Forks Dome. It contains: an ammeter, phone cord, PEZ toy (w/candy this time), strap from CG19EB, snuff box lighter, key chain, hose connector,Susan B Anthony Dollar, a pen and a log book.

Large logbook with a OSAMA BIN LADDIN graffiti poetry section in the rear. (Will post on the web site when I return to in hte spring)

If you follow the road around the dome, go SSW by SW and you'll run into "Warm Springs." The water is warmer than luke warm. Hotter water is around, I just didn't look.

Enjoy. Great cache for river rats. High clearance vehicle recommended, although I saw several SUV's like the Suburau there.

The other two, for the HATRICK, will be 3 CORNERS (at the Oregon, Idaho and Neveada border confluence) and at 3 Finger Rock (near Succor Creek).
