Orienteering Redux Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

jonnybgoode9: It's time for this one to go.☹️ The campground is not allowing anyone who doesn't have a campsite to enter the area during camping season! I designed the cache to use a compass and your feet (Orienteering). However, I should have set declination on the compass to use true North when walking out the path. Instead, I just used magnetic north. Since the declination changes slightly over the years so have the coordinates of the final. Only slightly but enough, apparently, to make the search difficult.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a of redux of a previous cache by manometchapterchief04. He seems to have moved on and several of his caches had been archived. I like the Orienteering aspect of this cache so I decided to bring it back.

The cache is located in the camping area of Wompatuck State Park, thus stealth may be required during camping season. For this cache you will need a compass and will have to use your Orienteering Skills to find the Cache. For a how to on Orienteering click here. The above coordinates will bring you to your starting point. From there, here are the listings:
1. 110°, 50 Feet
2. 20°, 20 Feet
3. 70°, 30 Feet
4. 30°, 42 Feet
5. 335°, 62 Feet
6. 250°, 59 Feet
Compass headings are magnetic.
