The other thing I did was load Gia GPS on my iPad and download the topo maps for the area around Grayling. I then marked the bolthole and caches as waypoints on the map.
This worked well as a tool and allowed for some fun roll playing of their 70s and 80s era characters trying to use the touch screen. I then used satellite imagery from Google on my laptop to follow along. Definitely less "theater of the mind", but immersive in its own way.
Since the players were not all aficionados of gun porn and military stuff I allowed reasonable Googling of stuff in game (but not maps), trusting them to filter out what a character from their era would know. This helps level the playing field when not everyone knows a bunch about weapons and explosives, but their characters would based on background and Morrow training.
