Good to see it on the move.
Interesting, I was out at Obstruction Point the same day wandering around on Lillian Ridge but missed you.
It is a good thing I went out that day because they closed the road for a few days after that because of the fire. I could smell smoke on the drive out.

Wow 6:00 you must have gotten up early but that is a nice time of day to be out there.
I can't remember for sure what time I got out there but I think it was around 9 so maybe you were already on Obstruction Point.
Where did you park to go to Eagle Point?

Sometimes in the fall they will close the Obstruction Point Road at Waterhole.
If no one gets out there before that maybe I will walk the road.
Is the register hidden?

Hesman placed it in a fantastic little nook on Obstruction Point. Picked it up today after hiking to Elk Mountain w/ my father.
[EDIT: I intend to post some photos... but google photo albums don't seem to be behaving for me now...]
I'm not sure yet where it will end up next.... I'm open to suggestions.

This is kind of off the wall but for some reason Little Lena came to mind.

Thanks for the suggestion reststep! I was actually just past the lake on Sunday (climbed the Brothers) and was thinking about that knob. Unfortunately due to work obligations I'm not likely to be able to get the register placed in a new spot until mid to late October, but I like that location since it should be accessible in most weather conditions.
@ Hesman: agreed, the summit of Ellinor should be skipped! (unless of course someone squirrels it away on the highpoint just NE across that small upper basin).

Ok, well after going on numerous trips with me, I finally placed Oly#4 at..... the old Lake Mills/Elwha (east side overlook, along the way to Whiskey Bend, hidden down in the lake bed area). Given the recent, and expected weather, I figured this should be an OK location as anyone can get to Lake Mills, and it is a pleasant stroll in the snow from the park entrance.
I got a late start, arriving at the gated park entrance at 1230 (warning: the parking area was a sheet of ice). The road in to the Ranger Station was either bare, covered in a thin layer of ice, or hard pack snow (maybe 1/2"); traction would be handy but not yet required. The weather was great today. The views from the overlook of the old lake bed were very nice with the sun glinting off the winding Elwha river.
I dropped down to the lake bed via the trail, then meandered down near the Glines Canyon entrance (that bright rusty looking area just along the river bank) for lunch. I then headed south along the river bank until I could no longer continue (where there is nothing but near vertical rock face meeting the river's edge).
I was back to the TH as the final light was fading for the day.
As a side note, I've taken Oly #4 to the following locations since collecting him in Sept: Mt Townsend
around Wynoochee Lake
Buck Mountain (Elbo Creek)
Dosewallips Ranger Station
Madrone Vista on Chuckanut Mtn (near Bellingham) [no pics]
South Mountain
Green Mtn (Kitsap County)
and around the Shady Lane-Rapids Loop trail down near Staircase
Just send me a PM when you want to retrieve it and I will send the pics of its location.

I have no idea what the orange stuff was. I check a bit of it and it almost felt/looked like fine particle rust in water (as opposed to some sort of algae) but I was not sure. It was visible in a couple locations along the river's edge. The most obvious location was near the dam site, but I spotted at least two other locations on the west side of the river bank further upstream (south). There were a couple of other locations upstream where old tree trunks were stained orange but there was nothing on the ground nearby indicating a source.
