The final cache container is NOT at the listed coordinates, this puzzle must be solved first to discover those coordinates.
Here are the final coordinates: N 44 14.FIRE W 124 04.DROP
Be careful on these narrow one lane roads, you never know what you might meet around that corner. Coordinates could be a little loose here with all the trees and mountains.
