No, the best way, at least from the East, would be to follow
the gravel road past the turnoff I took to get to BCIDWA,
and along until it ends near the power lines(off the
right-hand side of my photos, north of the boundary)
and then walk southwest up the ridge to the boundary.
The topo map posted along with my confluence visit:
http://www.confluence.org/photo.php?visitid=8945&pic=13
shows the power lines as the dashed line, along with
the gravel road. In retrospect, I wish I had done
that when I was there, but too late now.
