[pct-l] driving to indian springs cg in near cascade locks?

[Carolyn Eddy]

It's easy to get to Wahtum Lake by car but sontines the road to 
IndianSprings is not open due to blow downs and it being a lot less used 
road.
Wahtum Lake is paved and almost always open by June. I wouldn't hesitate to 
drive my 2 wheel van in there, most years, and my 1/2 ton truck if the van 
wouldn't do it due to washouts.

You could do a flip flop of the trail to Indian Springs from Wahtum, but the 
best part of that section is just south of I.S. so is worth going the extra 
1/4 mile and back for for the view. There also a mountain whose name escapes 
me, just on the north edge of Wahtum, that's worth going up,but will only 
take an hour or so our of your way.
You could  day hike to IS and back, camp at Wahtum and then come out at 
Cascade Locks. It's an easy downhill hike from Wahtum across Benson Plateau.
Or you could hope that the road is open to IS and do it all in one day. 
Wouldn't even be a hard day.

Depends on when you plan to do this but if I'm in town I'd be glad to help.
