> Take the trail at 250 degrees
> Then follow the yellow trail beyond the gate
> cross bar.
> Pass the fire circle on the left and then at the junction take the
> trail to the left (150 degrees). This bends to the left and then to

> your prize BUT direct your steps along the path to the 2nd yellow
> blaze. With your back to the blaze your path is directed at 330
> degrees and about 10 steps.
> Continue on the yellow trail after you have stamped in. This joins
