Get on CR 108 (there aren't really any towns close by, so it's hard to pick a reference from which to base the directions).
You'll get to CR 126. Go south for a little over half a mile. The easier of the 2 hp's is on a
small rise in the road. You'll be able to pick it out not only because it's slightly higher than the other rises in
the road, but also because there's a tower on the west side of the road that appears to be the remnants of an
old radar station or something.
The second hp is a little harder to get to because it lies is some pretty densely forested area. I went back out
on CR 108. There is an access road about 0.2 mile east of the intersection of 108 and 126, which heads off
to the north, but makes a good reference point to go south. I used a compass and took up a 210 degree
azimuth into the trees. There's a headstone just inside the forest's edge marking the grave of a guy who died in 1904.
As you head into the forest, which requires some heavy bushwhacking, you'll be walking along
what amounts to a small ridge line. I just walked parallel to the area where I could see the ground slope
slightly downward. It forms kind of a visible contour line that is much easier to follow. Because it's
contoured toward the southwest, you will eventually come to CR 126 again. You just kind of have to trust
that at some point in there you crossed the hp. I'm not sure this description is very clear but I think if you
see the map and go there it will become easier to understand.
