About this claim
Members have reported varied experiences at the Direct #1 Forest Service Claim in Washington, noting that access can be challenging due to rough roads with deep potholes, often requiring four-wheel drive vehicles.

Tips from members suggest focusing on exposed bedrock and sampling different areas, especially during low water conditions. Some past observations noted litter and unfilled dig holes, but overall, the claim is appreciated for its scenic beauty and camping opportunities.
