The posted coordinates are for the trailhead that will lead you to the cache. There is nothing hidden at the posted coords.
Start at the trail intersection where arrows are aplenty. Follow the cat down the yellow steep rocky trail... it will turn to your left surrounded by mysterious large numbers on trees. Yellow Bends was once to be found near here (this cache is now archived, see link). Meander along, yellow all the way.
CAM will loom. Find the cache then return to yellow, scurrying along. The slope will be gentle here but if the trees are bare look up to the left and you will see the cliffs below the overlook.
After 0.3 miles or so from the bends look for the slate curves, steps and swirls, prominently flanking both sides of the trail. Stop here, turn and face downhill.
Hop downhill to large slate and large slate and spy the cache. Less than 100ft and you'll be there. Another smiley you will have scored.
Now you can turn around and retrace your steps OR you can continue along until you meet green and black. In the latter case, turn left and follow green uphill back to parking.
