Yup..I'm 99% sure that where the sign guys were, was the creek I was looking for. I plugged the gps co-ordinates in, and it put us right at that creek for the most part. We must remember that the Garmin thing is CLOSE.

let the bushwacking begin....

Hi Keith - Google likes decimal only co-ordinates. Just punch up coordinate conversation and you’ll get a buck of calculators and converters to choose from like this link;

http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bick ... cimal.html

So a did a little image capturing, and came up with this map for you. I figure we start bushwhacking anywhere between A and B if C is the old mine camp site.

Count me in :-)
