Yup. Amazing how the nightmares come back to you :-D. My log:
Finally found the two dead trees a couple of degrees off the line. Really have
to use your imagination for the stripes. Never did find the right trail (or, at
least, the two small trees with more imaginary stripes). Didn't matter -- found
the stubby utility pole. I too ended up about 20 meters short of the final.
Thanks for the O-refresher! TNLNSL.

<<<my log>>>
6:50 AM Great cache. I liked this one. Nice hike on a cool, damp, cloudy day.
My
100th find. Sometimes I felt like I was wandering around in the woods
aimlessly,
but I was right on track. Everything suddenly appeared. Had a compass, but only
used the GPS (changed to metric). I enjoyed the wildlife a lot and left a
donation for their upkeep. Thanks RGS. Island Dave
