Jason, From what I could see on the TOPO! maps, we could start out at what's shown as a picnic area along Fish Creek below the long hill and north of the main road. I plotted a route with TOPO! and I can send it to you when I get home this evening. Like I said, it's a long and rugged route and won't be a walk in the park. After I did the TV interview, I emailed the reporter and thanked him and also hinted that if they wanted to do a follow-up that a helicopter trip to this cache would be a good story. They never responded.
