Geocache Description:

Yet another peanut butter jar in FULL CAMO NOT at the above cache page coordinates, but that is where you'll take your bearing.

After canoeing up and down this fine lake, it seemed like an unknown cache was in order - just to step-up the difficulty a bit. I rated it slightly higher in difficulty than it might prove to be for some, because searching for a cache when you don't have actual coords is one thing on land, it's another thing entirely in a boat.

To find the cache, take your bearing at the listed coords, where we launched today, then go about 1,545 meters at roughly 49°. That's all it takes!

I expected a duk for FTF on a lake - congrats!

Oh, the name? Since others have started a Clementine theme with their nifty hides around here, I thought I'd stick with her shoes, even though another cache up the lake bears the same. I just couldn't resist the nice rhyme.
