| no partners | | I arrived around 10.50 am and was the only car in the parking lot on a Wed. I parked at the restroom area and then walked North toward FSR 360. I crossed through a primitive gate and then within a few minutes saw a corral that could have been used for cattle or horses. I suspect cattle because it was large and there was a ramp on one side which made it easy for loading to/from a truck. Beyond the corral I saw several primitive camping spots with fire rings.
The road was muddy in several areas and had some water puddles. I walked around the edge of the puddles and sometime off the road to avoid the heavy mud, but it was impossible not to sink into the ground in many places. I saw some cattle on the way up and down, and many of their prints on the road.
Maybe 1/2 mile from the top was another unlocked primitive wire gate to walk through. Near the top, I needed to step over a barbed wire fence and do a short open-country hike to the high point.
At the high point I found a registry under a large tree. The jar was sitting out and definitely exposed to some indirect sunlight. Looking W/NW I saw a butte. I knew that Jackson butte was a few miles away but this butte seemed to be in the wrong direction. I believe it's called Little Butte.
On the walk down the road I saw a lone bull sitting near the road. When I got close, the bull stood up and was on high alert. He didn't run away this time.

Turn left into Timber camp recreation site
continue to T-junction, then turn right
look for restroom area on right
this is a good place to park

You could drive part of this road, but when I was there it was muddy and full of ruts.
Even with my capable 4x4, I was not interested in driving this road.
