Geocache Description:

For those campers who are tired of fishing and need a challenging Geocache fix. It is not on top of the ridge, just part way up.

"READ THE HINT and forget about the rest of the instructions


This is an excerise as to how to use your GPSr in another fashion. However, many newer GPS models are not capable of using features required to locate the cache. The older GPS units that track point to point and give distance should be able to handle this easily. It is NOT necessary to have a compass, tape measure or pedometer. You MUST enter the coordinates of each location, then proceed to the place where it tells you that the previous location is at X distance and Y bearing. 1 Mile = 5280 feet!

If you know how to use your GPSr, go to a point where the benchmark is eleven hundredths mile away bearing twenty-seven plus one hundred eighty degrees to locate the boulder. Use the Man-Overboard feature to establish a new position. Repeat the procedure using thirteen hundredths mile and three hundred thirty-two minus one hundred eighty degrees to locate the cache. West coordinate ends as zero oh zero!

Start out by finding the Benchmark at the above location.

From there, follow a bearing of 27 degrees true for a distance of about 580 feet to a large boulder.

At the boulder, follow another bearing of 332 degrees true for a distance of about 685 feet.
