cache

The aerial photo of the map suggests the cache is near the end of the bridge to the large island in Nicholas Sheran lake.

I have had 2 previous attempts at this without any success. I have had some difficulty with a bouncing GPS but on my second try it seemed to be on the west end of the bridge.

I will see if I can find the cache without using my GPS unit and only my eyes. Then I will try to see if I can get a more accurate position using my GPS.

PLANNING

This will be my third serious attempt at finding this cache. It will be the second test of this form to help focus my efforts. It is encouraging to note that it has been found within the last week. I also see that others have also had difficulty with this one.

I have downloaded the coordinates of the site from the MyGarmin web site. I have my Garmin nuvi 850, a pen, camera (battery charged) and gloves (in case it is in a spruce tree). Plus a clipboard for holding this page.
