Treasure jar #14, clue 2
The Valley near this location, is currently named after Antoine Sylvaille. The reservoir is a peaceful location created in collaboration between the BLM and ODFW. The wildlife are plentiful at this location. As I hid the jar I could hear a coyote howling in the distance, ducks quacking in the water and saw a few deer watching me from the entrance. I also saw a huge herd of Elk as I was coming home, in the fields nearby. If this valley could tell stories, I am sure that we would be captivated for quite some time. There are plaques near the bathrooms that tell a tidbit of its history.
Treasure jar #14, clue 1
This week’s jar is for all of the rebels! Why do I say that? Well, technically this jar is barely on the Grant County side of the county line. (All jars were supposed to be hidden in Harney County) This week's jar is just off of Hwy 395. The road to this location comes back to Harney County, but not before this body of water. (I didn’t realize this until I went to hide it.) Happy hunting!

What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet- William Shakespeare. There may have been some wild roses up there, however they must have seen this guy eating grass near the springs when they named the location.
