No, neither Hoppingcrow nor the
compass has gone wonky. When you reach the parking area, you will
observe that East is indeed west, down the path and through the
woods. I'm talking about East Creek, of course, which is a small
stream feeding into the south end of Alder Lake. Space here is
limited, so if you are coming in more than two cars, you may wish
to park on either side of the Highway 7 bridge near Elbe, a mere
quarter mile away. Visitors to this area are likely to be either
fishermen or birdwatchers, so if either sport is yours, bring
appropriate gear.
When you reach the given
coordinates, go on a heading of 000° magnetic (yes, really) for 160
feet and begin looking for an ammo can. Terrain here can be more
difficult in season.
