Geocache Description:

McCoy Station Cam

1. Once at the location call a friend and have them go to the Mammoth Mountain McCoy Station Cam at http://www.mammothmountain.com/winter/mountain-information/cams/mccoy-cam

2. Click on the Start Control button to get control of the webcam. If you do not get it right away you will be put in a queue and a timer will count down. Once the countdown timer turns green you will have control for 30 to 60 seconds, Now select from the pull down menu "Sun Deck" next to the start control button . The cam has a powerful zoom lens so please use it.

3. Once your friend has you on the cam have them hit the Print Screen button on their keyboard, Since the regular (right click save as does not work with this cam) then paste the image into any graphics/photo editing program.

4. All you need to do now is log your visit with your image and you are done.

NOTE: Cell coverage is poor at best up here. If you can not coordinate via phone as a last resort a digital photo will do.

Good Luck!
