Gray Butte #1
Placed by: birder (contact Calli-K)
Placement date:
State: Oregon
County: Jefferson
Nearest city: Terrebonne
Number of boxes: 1

Unfortunately, birder passed away in May of 2015. I have assumed ownership of all his boxes and the clues listed at AtlasQuest and LBNA. I will appreciate help maintaining the boxes and receiving detailed remarks about the condition of the boxes so I can keep the clues up to date. Contact me (Calli-K) via either AQ or LBNA.

Gray Butte is located on the Crooked River Grasslands northeast of Terrebonne. It is a mostly dry juniper-sage area, so where there is water birds tend to gather. These boxes are located near water troughs. The first area is used by cattle, so the area is pretty trampled at some times of the year, but the birds come to the water anyway. There are are also some interesting rock formations in the area. More boxes may be added to this series in the future.

Directions


To get there: Turn east on B street in Terrebonne. Stay on that road until you come to a T. At the T turn left. Soon after you cross the Jefferson County line look for the Skull Hollow campground sign. Turn left on the dirt road. When you see some water troughs and a road turning off to the left, park near the troughs.
