I'm sorry, but I'm confused my your format descriptions.  Please use the
terms reals and integers.  You've used the term decimal before, but that
usually means base-10 encoding (zero through nine) to me.  The first
format is a set of three integers?  I think you want a set of two numbers
for the second format, the first an integer and the second real.  Is this
correct?

So the paragraph should read:

  Go 12.2 miles.  You will pass Flatiron Mountain on the left, hence the
  name of the site.  Just past mile marker 23 (N 33° 40.015′, W 112°
  49.985′) you will turn east (right) onto a wide dirt road.  (This road
  does NOT run along a fence line.  If it does, you went too far and are on
  the wrong dirt road.  The correct dirt road is to the south of the road
  with the fence.)  If you go too far on Wickenburg Road, there is a cattle
  guard and a Bureau of Land Management sign immediately along the road to
  let you know you missed the turnoff.

Please correct the paragraph if necessary.
