From KS-181 at Main Street in Tipton, zero your odometer.

3.3 Turn left (east).

Area #1 is by the communications tower on the right. Hop the fence and hike
west-southwest 0.4 mile for Area #2. Do not disturb the cows. From Area 2,
hike south-southeast 0.5 mile for Area #3. Drop north-northeast into the creek
bed and up to your car in 0.6 mile, or return over Area 2 to avoid the drop.
The driving route worked but I found an easier way on my way out. Just reverse
the following. Turn around and go back (east).
6.4 Road comes in from the left that I came in on but
continue east on a better road (doesnt show on the topo).
7.8 150 Road Turn right (south).
