Found It: That Shiney Thing On Top


It took five attempts over the course of almost two months, but the snow has almost entirely cleared from near the summit of Green Peter Mountain ( N44° 28.986' W122° 34.975'). We had been trying to get to the top to find That Shiney Thing On Top: Green Peter (GC170FC).


On a spur-of-the-moment trip, Deulist and I Jeeped up to the gate and hiked to the top. We found the cache we failed to find a month ago because of the snow, which was two or three feet deep on top of the cache on that trip. We took a lot of pictures (and Deulist may or may not have left a little something to increase the lure), so check out the cache logs to get the vicarious experience...or, better yet, go for it yourself!


All we need to do now is find out about the survey marker stamped "Bald Peter" (the next mountain to the North), rather than "Green Peter." Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh sure, go up there while I'm in Eugene attending an AIA presentation on Courtyard Housing.

Looks like a fun trip, unfortunately the Jeep is in Idaho right now, so I guess I'll have to wait.

Drat! You figured out the exact reason why we didn't invite you. We still have lots of business to attend to up there!

Nice job! Looks like it was a fine day for a hike. But the true question is when will you make it to moose lake...

I have a 3-way conflict this weekend:

1) GeoBiking McDonald Forest
2) Moose Lake March
3) Out-Of-State Family visiting for Grandma's 90th birthday.

I have a feeling who will win and who will lose out on real fun and adventure this weekend.
