Dusty Cache #5 - Cliffs of Insanity

Permission to place this cache has been sought from Jackson County Parks and Recreation.
 Not Handicap accessible   Supervise children closely   Steep rocky slope   Wear long pants   Off-trail required   No drinking water available   No restrooms 

The coordinates are for the first step of this multi-leg cache. The route is along gravel paths in wide open fields, until the last 400 feet.

The step(s) before the final cache have the coordinates for the next step. When I approached each step, the EPE (error) was 56 feet. After averaging for 5+ minutes, it was down to a circle of 16-foot radius. So, don't expect the GPS to take you to within a foot of the cache.

11/2/2004 - readjusted the coordinates. Got a 7-foot EPE this a.m.. Please let me know how good this fix is.
11/2/2004 - replaced step 1 due to damage from cache seekers. Please follow replacement directions printed on the item! The clear window should NOT touch anything.

There are several ways to the final step. Some are muddy, some are steep slopes with rocky or muddy footing. The lowlands are wet right now.

The final step is a cache container hidden away from the cliff's edge. Smaller trade items only, please. (It is almost full.)

CAUTION: There is no need to approach the cliffs themselves.
A fall from the cliffs might not be fatal, but you would probably wish it was, if you fell.
Please control any children well.

NOTE: Please do not log any spoilers about the steps.
If anyone wants a hint, please E-mail me, describing where you searched.

NOTE: Please replace steps/caches exactly as found.
There are lots of geomuggles about.

The first step of the cache is close to the nearby parking (not at the Marina):
