Horse Lake, as it is referred to in Harvey Manning's
Footsore series, is rather eutrophic. That is to say, it is
a wetlands, or as some prefer, a swamp. It gets its name from the
many saddle club types that used to live in this area. I have seen
an occational horse and rider on the trail, so watch out for horse
apples!
The woods are not particularly deep here, but deep enough to
give one a sense of solitude -- except in summer, when you will
find no solitude from the mosquito hordes.
Park under the power lines at Klahanie Park or better still
Beaver Lake Middle School. If you follow your GPS, you should find
the right trail.
At the first waypoint is hidden an Altoids tin containing
coordinates for waypont two. You will not have to step off the
trail to retrieve the container.
At the second waypoint, you'll have to take one step off the
trail to retrieve a 35mm film cannister with the final coordinates.
Once you find WP2 I suggest you continue the direction you were
walking on the path.
The final cache is hidden slightly off trail in a rather obvious
place. It is a short flatish tupperware container, about a foot in
length.
To get back to your vehicle, I recommend that you back track the
way you came. Unless you know your way around Klahanie, then you
can continue on the path past the final into a the clearing then
turn right and walk a few hundred feet to SE 34th Place.
