Geocache Description:

The rare "large" cache and a nice hike.  If you have a 4WD vehicle, you can get within half a mile of GZ and the rest is bushwhacking.  If you don't have 4WD, park on Deadman Road at the designated coordinates and hoof in.

In both cases, approach from the northwest for the best terrain.  With the right approach, you will not encounter more than rock scrambles.

 

Super-congrats to Denali41 for the FTF and a really sweet log!


UPDATE: I've tried several routes including to the south. Coming from NNW is the only sane route.

In French, "lavabo" means sink or washbasin.  This cache is situated in a basin at the top of a great view at 9500ft altitude: http://360.io/5FaCaF

Now, on to the good part...
