Multi-wavelength observations of unidentified EGRET sources is essential if counterparts are to be identified, particularly in the pre-GLAST era. Although most interest has centered on lower energy observations, the flat spectrum sources may be detectable at higher energies. Results of a recent counterpart search in the 350 GeV to 10TeV energy range with the Whipple 10m telescope will be presented. Observations of eight unidentified sources were made from October 2001 to March 2002. The sources chosen were 3EGJ2248+1745, 3EGJ2255+1943, 3EGJ0433+2908, GeVJ0508+0540, 3EGJ0613+4201,3EGJ0628+1847, 3EGJ0634+0521 and EGJ1009+4855. Two of these sources,0433 and 0509, were recently associated with the highest energy photons detected by EGRET, in the >10 GeV range and have been identified with AGN. A detection of emission from these two objects in the 300 GeV range would help confirm this identification.
