Little Three Creeks Lake
Looking for a good long hike, we drove up to 3 Creeks Lake to check out hunting for Tam McArthur. After just a few steps up the trail and post-holing in over my knees in snow we decided that wasn’t a good idea. We hiked up to Little 3 Creeks Lake, a pleasant walk (even though we took one wrong turn and had to backtrack some). While there we heard a roar and looked up to see an avalanch in progress across the lake. Got a sequence of pictures of the end of it.
On the way back to Sisters, we hunted Vista View, which we found at 1:37 PM. This cache sits near the top of a vertical lava cliff. Very pretty area, but I stay away from the edge.
Next, we made a side trip and hiked, mostly cross country, to find Peterson, Lookout! at 2:38 PM. For part of the way we did find an old road. From the cache location on Peterson Ridge there are great views out north towards Sisters.
Finally, I hunted Eagles Crack. Had to scramble up a rocky hill and search in an area with some vertical faces. Karen stayed down at the bottom. I saw plenty of cracks, and looked in them, and wedged myself up in them, but couldn’t find it. Discouraging.
