Default EPC Guy's Treasure - Clue #4

Hello again, friends and neighbors! I think this is a REALLY cool clue - much better than the original Clue #3!

First, a re-cap of the clues:

1. North
2. Great Lakes / Lake Superior
3. Upper Peninsula

OK, Tinman - here it comes!

EPC Guy’s Treasure – Clue #4

Somewhere up north, Tinman was walking through the forest late one afternoon when he suddenly discovers that he’s lost. Fortunately, it’s not too terribly cold – about 45 degrees – but he would sure like to get back to his car before nightfall. He looks at his watch and realizes he’s been in the woods for less than an hour. After sitting on a log, sharpening his axe and analyzing his situation, he thinks he remembers how to re-trace his steps and estimates that he’s about 49 ½ minutes from where he parked his car – so off he goes.

He begins hiking west, and sure enough, he finds his car just as the sun is setting. By now, he is tired and cold. He starts the car, takes a big swig from his pocket flask, turns the heater to 88 degrees and in a mere 3.8 minutes is fast asleep.

Where is his car parked? Discover the answer and you’ll be MUCH closer to the treasure!

Good luck, y'all!

This clue builds on the others only in terms of advancing you toward the treasure site...all the hints to solving this clue are contained within "Tinman's Story".
