You will need to know a bit about compasses to complete this cache. Potentially, one could use a GPSr and project waypoints, but when using relative location minor errors in accuracy can potentially cause large errors as you go (though the easy clues should help there). All bearings are given are true, so be sure to adjust for declination. When teaching, I keep an up to date topo handy, a simple internet search can also help.
Start with the treasure map provided. Be wary the bearer of flags is a large metal object that may cause some magnetic deviation in traditional compasses, my suggestion would be to stand a few feet to the north when shooting your first bearing. From there the best place to shoot a bearing is from where you found the clue. Any distances are given in paces. I'm a firm believer in a traditional full stride pace (two steps), this is navigation not golf. Everyone has their own pace, but it should get you close enough to make the find with the clue (you could probably figure out some of them without bothering with the pacing to be honest).
The micros consist mostly of silver bison tubes and soda preforms, with two notable exceptions. The final is a traditional lock&lock.
