In order to determine the cache location obtain additional information from outside sources. Among other places, the information is available for free on the internet from a federal government website. Once you have some additional map information you will need to compute the coordinates of the cache location. Some methods are a lot easier than others. This will test your map reading skills, you may even learn something. Be sure to zoom in on the appropriate map to get the best results.

A geochecker is provided below. Since it is virtually impossible to determine the “exact” location, the geochecker will indicate success if you are within 100 feet. Geochecker.com

Published coordinates represent a convenient place to park. Signing the log will require about a mile and a half of hiking and bushwhacking. The route could be dry during the winter months but will probably be quite moist other times of the year.
