Followed unmaintained Pike Hill Road uphill to a fork where we took a left, continuing uphill and through some boulders that were blocking (logging?) vehicles from continuing further. At the next fork we took a right, following the logging road until it totally fizzled out at the base of Wilcox Hill. We started our bushwhack following a stream that was heading up to the col between the two bumps. About 3/4 of the way up we started angling toward Wilcox South. The climb steepened significantly until we hit the ridge where we found a faint pathway which led us right to the RHP! The glass jar was broken. Looked like it had just dropped from its string! We replaced it, and the intact register, where the original had been hanging. We decided to follow the path back down until it started veering away from our proposed heading. A short bushwhack through clear woods got us back onto the logging road not far down from where it ended. |
