<div id="ygrps-yiv-727775216">walked miles & luckily hitchhiked some <br/>
rather than drive the worst part again<br/>
& finally had to bushwhack & scramble straight up for it<br/>
but undoubtedly found the marker<br/>
a primitive beauty<br/>
<br/>
5 foot cairn with 5 extra feet of 1x1 post sticking out the top <br/>
crowned by a songbird<br/>
<br/>
no disk or writing or anything <br/>
but the location & intent are unmistakable<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the post wasnt set quite vertically <br/>
so i figured i didnt have to risk climbing on the loosely stacked <br/>
rocks to touch the supposed quadripoint position centered on high<br/>
<br/>
grasping the post about a foot above the place where it emerged from <br/>
the cairn looked & felt about right on center to me<br/>
& i avoided the bird droppings that way too<br/>
<br/>
strictly speaking i dont really know if it was class e or class a <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
oh <br/>
& it turns out i had indeed spotted it in the moonlight last night<br/>
but blew it off <br/>
thinking the location wasnt close enough to the peak yet<br/>
<br/>
in fact i overshot it by a mile before i turned back<br/>
so the worst of the driving was actually unnecessary<br/>
dohh<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
next try will be a hot springs<br/>
<br/>
perhaps right at the end of hot springs road here<br/>
<br/>
but hopefully sooner than later<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
beeps & thanx for the giving <br/>

&gt; tried the calystwa tertiary quadripoint<br/>

&gt; in the wee hours last night<br/>
&gt; without a map<br/>
&gt; at around 7250 feet<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; foolhardy but i was at least rewarded with a great view of the <br/>
&gt; capital district 3000 feet below<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; the access road is about as bad as they get<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; if you can bear to look<br/>
&gt; ask topozone for mcclellan peak & pan south & southwest<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; will try again now in daylight with the freakin topo tho<br/>
