Abandoned Elk Camp Tatoosh Wilderness
Rainier10:
Curious to hear what you find out.
Western_WA_Kevin:
Called the Cowlitz ranger station this morning to report the camp. The ranger was not aware of anyone that has been reported missing since last fall in the area where I found the camp. Also, said this is not super uncommon in the national forest because sometimes people overestimate their abilities hiking and camping in the backcountry. No judgement here, just trying to hopefully get the stuff back to the owner.
As for the location- it was about 3 miles and 3,000 feet in elevation gain from the north trailhead, located in a small sheltered clearing next to a drop off. This is IVO of the Tatoosh Lakes if you are familiar with the area.
Knocker of rocks:
I would offer to clean up the mess, with the agreement of the USFS and applicable Sheriff’s department. Which given that it’s Lewis County, the SD may care less
2MANY:
A perfect example of a great place that has become extremely over populated.
Back when Blakenship ran cows up there and many years afterwards it was incredible.
Sad but over.
wags:
That tent did not spend the winter there at 3000 foot elevation.
about 6 feet of snow would have flattened it, as well as everything inside.
