Amen to that! I have a pretty good compass (but not laser military lensatic laser guided) and I had my GPS but that was no use. I had to give up as my family was roasting to death in the car.

Unless, of course, you attempt to tackle Ryan of Portland's infamous
& sadistic Applegate Trail Rest Area Letterbox near Grants Pass,
Oregon. Then, you'll need a several thousand dollar nuclear powered
military lensatic compass with laser guided precision, a GPS for
back up accuracy, a full flood light since your hunt will take you
well into the night regardless of when you begin & numerous
bottles/tubes of Zanfel/Technu for the almost assured miserable case
of poison oak you'll catch when you give up 'dead reckoning' the
various azimuths in the clues and then you surrender to the hunt &
peck method of finding the letterbox! Truly sadistic, he is...
