Geocache Description:

In the day's of yore Drake was a Mariner who relied on the magnetic compass of the era. He had to make a decision as to where to find the elusive treasure. But you have the advantage. Time and technology have made it easier for you especially since you can project waypoints. A word to the wise is to learn the ways of the old Mariners and combine it with what navigators of today Truly consider as a normal projection when they plot their course.

Your first step on this quest is to go West of Loveland, and on CR 43 you will find the Drake (Garden Gate) trailhead.

This trail can be used to reach the summit of the peak known as ☺ Crosier ☺

Park your landlubbers vehicle and head up the trail for a gain of over 900 ft. and 1.6 miles. When you find the big meadow, go to the coordinates and find the big rock. This will be your epicenter for this journey.

You will now have to make a decision just like Drake did a long long time ago. Which way do I go to find the Treasure.

  1. North by West - N by W for .12 mi.
  2. Northeast by East - NE by E for .12 mi.
  3. Southeast by South - SE by S for .12 mi.
  4. West by South - W by S for .12 mi.
