#1: The confluence point lies in forest, near the top of a ridge, next to an especially prominent tree

(visited by Ross Finlayson)

11-Sep-2018 -- While returning to my home in the San Francisco Bay Area from south-central Oregon, I decided to revisit this point that I’d last visited 8 years earlier. At that time, I’d made the mistake of timing my visit too late, so I arrived around sunset, ending up with poor-quality photos. My hope was to get some better-looking photos this time around.

As before, I parked at a nearby bend in the road signposted “Rubble Gap”, and hiked up the drainage through the forest to reach the point, which lies next to an especially prominent tree.
