If you know one angle and two side lengths of a triangle, there are two possible triangles that can be drawn. Here you have two not very accurately drawn triangles with one angle given as exactly 38° with the opposite side exactly 1 mile (5280 feet). One of the other sides is 7235.2767 feet. One of these triangles holds the key to this puzzle. Figure out the other angles to find the longitude of the cache. Make sure to carry at least 8 significant digits. If your answer looks right, but doesn't work in Certitude, you probably need to carry more significant digits.
I had a rather roundabout hike to get to this spot which makes it a bit tough to rate the terrain. If the first couple of finders think it needs to be changed, let me know. You get a bonus half star for the tree climb.
