    Bear box 'CG01'
    (Frypan Meadow)

    Detail Map: (scroll down for directions, waypoints, and area map)

    1. CG01 is a standard box, at about 7800 feet, in the Cedar Grove Area region.

    2. Note: The trail on the map is wrong! The 2010 GPS waypoint is a major correction of the older waypoint. Also, Frypan Meadow is labelled poorly on the map: it is actually the white clearing southwest from the label (which appears over a ridge).

    3. Directions from Steve Eckert, with GPS waypoint, June 2010:
      One box in tall trees between Frypan Meadow and the second stream west of Lewis Creek. This box is 0.15 miles north of the Lewis Creek / Wildman Meadow trail junction, and 100 yards south of the poorly marked Kennedy Pass / Grizzly Lakes trail junction. You will miss it if you follow the Grizzly Lakes sign immediately north of Wildman Meadow.

    4. Directions from Aaron Schuman, October 2002:
      It's in a soothing grove of trees, in between the trail and the creek, about five meters from each landmark. It is easily visible from the trail.

    5. Directions from Steve Eckert, with GPS waypoint, June 1998:
      One box in a very small meadow south of ONE OF THE POSSIBLE Grizzley Lakes trail junctions.

    6. Find waypoint CG01 in region waypoints or all waypoints file.
      (NAD83 decimal degrees or NAD27 UTM data suitable for TOPO! software or Waypoint+ software)
        (lat,lon) = (36.8535600, -118.6985600) in decimal degrees, NAD83.
  (zone,east,north) = (11S, 348653.0, 4079776.0) in decimal meters, NAD27.
    7. Next box is CG02: Tent Meadow.
