**THIS CACHE IS RATED WITH A TERRAIN 4 FOR A REASON. A 4X4 VEHICLE WITH GOOD GROUND CLEARANCE IS REQUIRED TO DO THIS CACHE. THERE ARE LOTS OF ROUGH SPOTS IN THE ROAD, A FEW WASHOUTS AND LOTS OF OILPAN HUNGRY ROCKS. DO NOT TAKE THIS WARNING LIGHTLY, IF YOU GET STUCK HERE, IT IS A LONG WALK TO ANYWHERE.** There are also a few open areas near the begining of the road. They are good places to park if you plan to go by foot.


The entrance to the road is at N 45* 46.618 W 068* 53.479

At N 45*46.160 W 068* 56.022 TURN RIGHT going straight will take you to Omaha Beach (There is a cache at Omaha Beach GCQ50C)

At N 45* 46.619 W 068* 56.944 You will be at Little Omaha Beach, go right and continue onwards. You will pass a boat launch and then Wheelbarrow Pitch. After Wheelbarrow Pitch the cache is only a mile away!

You can park within feet of the cache! I prefer to back into the open area across the road from the cache.

The drive in is about 4.5 miles, it will take about 20 to 30 minutes to drive in depending on your driving abilities and road conditions. (ROAD CONDITIONS CAN AND WILL VARY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR)




**The Coords may be more towards the parking area, the tree cover was playing tricks on us (but we averaged 15 coords on two different days and those are the coords we came up with) but even if you're at the parking spot, you're still less than 15' from the cache.

***Thanks to ATTroll for his assistance in hiding this cache***

***CONGRATS DAVE AND GAIL FOR THE FTF!!!***
