A good place to park is N42° 35.199 W078° 37.641. At this point, you are very close to the cache. Someone once told me that a straight line is not always the most ideal way to a target. We recommend that you use the X-country ski trail as you leave your vehicle. In a round about way, you will arrive at the cache site with no problem. There are many nice things to look at along the trail, you will enjoy the walk. Once you've found your goal, you can take the trail in either direction to get back to your vehicle at the parking area. If you go opposite the way you came in, you will come out into an open field above the parking lot. There is a camera in the cache with directions enclosed. Please take a picture or two of yourself and let me know if you did and how many you took when you log your find.
