Geocache Description:

Plan 3 hours plus prep time. Add an hour or two for a wonderful picnic! No Hints on this one! (email me if your GPS-less)

Finding this cache will require some form of fairly common equipment. Several different types of such equipment will function fine, which type is entirely your choice. Many people already have one or more of these types of equipment. What type of equipment? I'll let you analyze the chart and decide for yourself. The Topo Zone link below will give you the idea, but It doesn't correctly convert the GPS WGS84 to NAD27 the Topo Zone charts are depicted in. Thus the red target needs to be moved 450 feet ENE (061 True). (To see where it actually lies on Topo Zone, From the Topo Zone page, Select "Get a Map Decimal Degrees", enter 61.2872, -149.4231, then select 1:25,000 scale along top edge of chart) As always, bring your safety jackets. Bear Repellant highly recomended!
