tomulusANDwatermusic: Checked today and it is gone. I am amazed at how quickly the area has changed. It doesn't look anything like it did when the cache was placed. Thanks to those who attempted this one.

Geocache Description:

Can you navigate a straight line? Using your GPSr you can! The cache is along the line between two known endpoints. It’s a “Fun & Games with a GPSr” cache, located in the undeveloped parkland around Piney Run Lake in Eldersburg, MD. No admission fee.

From Liberty Road (RT 26), follow Martz Road to the end and park at [N39 23.988 W76 58.732]. The parking coordinates (the ones just listed) are Point A. Go to the cache listing coordinates and notice what Beavers can do. Continue walking more or less south, following the light trail along the shore for approximately 200 feet, until you come to the “9 Post”. The 9 Post is Point B. At Point B, really let your GPSr settle-in for best accuracy. The cache is 460 feet away from point B along the line between B and A. The cache is a sandwich-sized container.

Various trails lead from the parking area to the 9 Post. Light bushwhacking to the cache is required.

2 of 3. GFNT it was SUPPOSED to be (see "Getting Your Bearing", GCHDGE). You might prefer projecting from Point B to the cache.
