Letterbox hybrid where you are a pinball among pine trees. Parking can be found on the south side of Shoup Rd. near listed coords. Walking distance to final is less than 0.25 mile.
Note: A compass, or knowledge of waypoint projections on the GPSr may be helpful (but not necessary) in determining your "bounce" off various objects. All bearings are based on true North.
1. Begin: Pull the chain at the green gate to release, and roll down the faint trail [230°]. Your path will intersect the Section 16 Loop trail. At the intersection look for a mature tree with a scar at a height of 2' facing the trail.
2. Scar Tree: Your "bounce" here will take you to a pole with a (yellow) wire support line [305°]. Travel towards the pole, and go under the wire.
3. Pole: Standing under the pole-wire frame, you'll bounce across the Section 16 Loop trail towards a young tree in an open area [230°]. This young tree is the shortest tree across the trail, and splits at waist height forming a small Y.
4. Y Tree: Travel towards the largest diameter/tallest tree at the edge of the open area [212°]. There are 3 trees of similar (large) diameter in a straight line within 50' of each other here. Continue along the direction of these 3 trees to the "drain" - near the final (3rd) tree.
5. "Drain": The ball exits the playfield at this location, and you will find the final here.
Initial contents include: unactivated trackable for FTF. Pine tree stamp. Green ink pad. Pencil and log. Enjoy!
