This is the fourth summit I activated with my Dad while visiting Lemolo Lake KOA.

From the KOA, we drove across the dam on NF-2610 and right onto NF-2612.  Then left onto NF-700 and again left onto NF-920.

NOTE: when we were there, the road was blocked by tree blown down (43.325124, -122.176542) a few hundred yards from the point where you bushwack to the summit.  So we just pulled onto the side of the road and continued on foot.

The remaining 1/4 mile and 200 feet gain was relatively easy as the summit was part of a forest fire at some point and had removed the undergrowth.

At the summit, we setup the mast and EFHW antenna and worked mostly 40m and some 20m QSOs.

After the activation, we headed back down to camp.

This summit pairs well with Kelsay Mountain (W7O/CS-077)

There are 4 summits close to Lemolo Lake KOA that could be easily done in a day.
