two methods for this cache. Using a GPS or a compass, even if its on your gps. My hope is you will try the old method, and i have explained it well enough to follow. Good luck
The way we used to plot trees in the woods was done by using a compass bearing, pacing off the required feet, counting the trees, then pacing off in the direction of next bearing a certain distance, counting tress, etc etc. So in accordance with “old school”, cache can be found using bearings and pacing the correct number number of feet. You will need to know how long your pace is, the standard military pace is 2.5 feet. For accuracy we used a 100 foot tape measure when setting this up

We are all familiar with the New School method so I shortened the gps route but still left it a multi.
I changed the Old School to be more precise where to start and listed it below
OLD SCHOOL
Starting location at light post no. 329 @(n 47 56.792 s 122 11.266)
Next leg travel 65 feet on a bearing of 22*
next leg travel 219 feet on a bearing of 82*
next leg travel 265 feet on a bearing of 338*
Final leg travel 100 feet on a bearing of 248*
NEW SCHOOL
First clue found at original coordinates(above), then one more to final.
you will not follow the same path as Old School
When you log this tell us which method you used.
FTF is a silva compass so when your batteries go dead you can find your way back.
Congrats to kissinatthecache for the FTF
