A new letterbox for the few of us in Texas: Gordian Knot

clue is posted at:
http://www.sharawadgi.com/letterbox/gordianknot.html

(I also listed it at geocaching.com since the starting point is lat/lon.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=5905)

Here's the directions:
Begin at N 30 23.145' W 097 45.518' (WGS84)
There is a small cairn in a clearing which marks your starting point.
The letterbox rests at 14 feet at a bearing of 248 degrees,
then 40 ft. at 293 degrees,
then 23 degrees for 20 ft. to a small bush
then 19' at 113 degrees, followed by 32' at 203,
62' at 293, and 16' at 203,
to a small stone, then 12 more feet at 158,
then roughly 39' at 113,
then turning to 68 degrees for 39 feet to a small mound,
then 39 feet at 23 degrees,
12' at 338 degrees, and 16' at 293 to a small depression,
then a long 62' at 203, followed by
32' at 293, 19' at 23, 20' at 113,
40' at 203, 14' at 248, 128' at 23,
and 14' at 248 to another bush,
then 40' at 203, 20' at 113, 19' at 23,
32' at 293, 62' at 203 through the plants,
then 16' at 293, 12' at 338, 39' at 23,
and 39' at 68 to another rock,
then 39' at 113, 12' at 158 (watch out for the brush),
and 16' at 203, then the final run goes 62' at 293,
32' at 203, 19' at 113, 20' at 23,
40' at 293, and 14' at 248
to a spot adjacent to a small trail, beneath the ledge of a large rock.
(approximately 1' wide by 3' long)

Enjoy!
