Bear box 'CG01'
(Frypan Meadow)

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

CG01 is a standard box, at about 7700 feet, in the Cedar Grove Area region.
Note: GPS waypoint might be a bit off, as it was taken in the field with large trees in the area. It didn't quite make sense when transferred to a map... so it was moved a bit to near a trail junction. Trails did not appear to match the 7.5' topo maps in this area, and were hard to follow, partly because of snow.
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.
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.
