This reminded me of a similar 'style' of find. A few years ago while driving home (between Bend and Sunriver) I noticed something out of the ordinary about 150 yards off the road, I pulled over and hiked to it and noticed it was an army duffel bag filled with something and the clasp was closed with the spring hook on it. This raised all sorts of thoughts such as dropped money, a crime scene gone bad (no bodies or other evidence) or worse... anyway I threw a few rocks at it to determine if the contents were solid or soft. After determining there was nothing solid in it I went ahead and opened it and poked a stick inside and saw some cloth items. I decided it was safe so I dug the contents out and there was a dirty pair of ski bibs, a dirty jacket, a bunch of assorted junk of no use (not even for survival) and a very nice stainless steel serving tray. Everything went in the trash but the tray. I cleaned it up and use it to lay racks of ribs for seasoning prior to BBQ. It was an odd find in an odd location but there are a fair amount of transients that wander and camp in the area. I circled the area for a while thinking I may find an 'expired' transient but nothing else.I don't know if one would consider this strange, weird or just creepy, but I once stumbled across a small duffel bag under a pile of leaves. The bag contained a water bottle, a bandana, two pairs of panties and six rounds of .30-30 ammo.
Two Clones: ever heard of "My Topo" (company) or "Terrain Navigator (Pro)" software? I have OR and WA, plus access to ariels. Super good software. Out of Montana. 7.5 min, 15min, 1:100,00 and 1:250,000 topos for the whole US, by state.
I have not. I use Delorme Xmap Pro for work, part of which is locating section and quarter corners. Cannot simply dump them into my Garmin without first creating waypoints in Delorme then transferring. Do the clients you mention have corner waypoints ready to transfer?

Great thread.
My story comes from a man in his 70's that needs to be shared. True story I spoke with the kids (now in thier late 40's). After returning from a long day of hunting with his son and sons friend. Dad noticed the kids had filed thier pockets with rocks. He asked why on earth would they fill their pockets with rocks while out hunting. The son and his friend told him they were filled with gold. The father of course did not believe them and looked at the rocks. Sure enough they were quartz rocks that had a gold vien in them. The kids told Dad there was rocks like this everywhere under "THE TREE". The family has been back every year for near 20 years and have yet to find this spot again.
2 years ago I went to the "The tree" hunting. Only to find everything is now fenced and gated and there is a huge gold mine there.. Its in the Bonapart area. Makes ya wonder...

Is that on top of the hill on the flat? Which side of the road?
The coordinates you have put it in north central WA. Yes, we were about 6 miles east of Adel, that sounds about right....I should have marked it better at the time but didn't think about it. Had a great time over there, we were staying just north of Plush, awesome country. Hart Mountain Antelope refuge is worth the trip if you're ever in the area, there are some GREAT views of the Steens.
