Looking back at ground zero from the south. If you are here, you
have gone too far!
As legend has it, before Long Tail became a peninsula, it was an
island and apparently horses and cows occasionally got marooned out
there, and died. Hence, Dead Horse Bay.
Today, Long Tail is a peninsula, but only marginally so. Getting to
this cache will present different challenges depending upon the
time of the year. Bring the right gear or plan on getting wet and
cut up. If it's been really dry out, you might get lucky and stay
dry. Regardless, it is about a mile walk round-trip. You might also
be able to access this by boat.
You are looking for a micro. You're coming for the challenge and
the view, not for the McD toys, right?
The start of the trail just past the parking area.
After a while, you can cut back inland where there is a wider
trail.
Or, you can stick to the "beach" on the bay side.
Ground Zero from the air. Yep, it's pretty much a swamp all
around it.
