How hard would it be to hike to this point?


Anyone want to map out the best track to hike it?

To get to the buried treasure? Looks like there's a trail starting about mid-beach - on the eastern side. Once up the slope, hike along the spine. I've actually hiked from the SW beach to the other side - there's a trail, not difficult. But if you can paddle or sail over to that eastern C beach, start there. What's the treasure?

Can you drop start coordinates on the Eastern beach?

Bing maps are so much more clear than Google in this area, but you can't make tracks unless I'm just missing how.

The island is barely a mile wide. You can’t figure out how to walk a mile and scramble up a hill? Put your big boy britches on and figure it out for yourself.

:P

I've only hiked to the top of the ridge on the southeast corner from the bay. I think it looks steeper than an approach to your hidden treasure if you started from the east side. The west approach looks much more gradual, but much longer hike. The north side is very steep. We anchored the sail boat there for the night to escape the winds and it looked better suited for goats.

I would start in that little cove west of Bahia Corralito
it is less than a mile to the top - easy slope
