Geocache Description:

The drive begins and ends just west of Tawas City, which is located on the eastern coast of the lower peninsula. The drive, a 68-mile loop, takes you through broadleaf forests, a red pine plantation, and stops at several monuments including the stunning Lumberman's Monument, a tall bronze sculpture depicting the "river rats" who drove logs down the mighty Au Sable River. You also visit serene Iargo Springs, a fresh spring that percolates Water from the forest floor right into the Au Sable River. You end the loop drive by proceeding through Tuttle Marsh, a wetland dedicated to the preservation of waterfowl and wildlife habitats. Special attractions on this route include Corsair Recreation Area, Lumberman's Monument, Canoe Racer's Monument, Iargo Springs, Au Sable River, Foote Dam Overlook, and Tuttle Marsh.

This multi consists of a first stage and a final. At the posted coordinates you will find the information you need for the final location.
