You can find them all in the Travel Guide

I'll let you know if I find a new one in HRV. And I am curious - how many of the cairns you have found only say "This is not yet written" ?

Gecko, my firend, I am sorry, I have not been playing on Steam, and my Steam chat is always messed up. I just checked your profile, and saw you hads sent me messages, that I never got notifications for.

I will check to see what screenshots I have for cairns, but may have lost a good number during an accidental clean-out of my HD and debug screenshots.

I'll get back to you as soon as I check the maps you have now, and see if I spot any I know of that are not marked yet.

We are almost in agreement with the number of cairns we both have discovered. I’ve looked at your maps and you’re missing the following 7. I’ll be sure to watch your comments in the "Special" section of your Travel Guide and hopefully others will provide you with the locations of the final ones.

Desolation Point #48 (765, 985)
Desolation Point #91 (823, 1445)
The Ravine #110 (-626, -210)
Timberwolf Mountain #77 (1425, 1274)
Timberwolf Mountain #89 (791, 1207)
Timberwolf Mountain #92 (1680, 1018)
Timberwolf Mountain #115 (420, 942)

Didn’t notice that you had mapped six additional cairns on Timberwolf Mountain since the last time I looked at you maps. Two of those I gave above, you already found yourself. The 16 cairns to be discovered are: #18, 26, 42, 66, 73, 79, 97, 99, 111, 117, 119, 127, 128, 141, 153, 164. If someone has found any of these, post coordinates. Thx!

I take it there's no way of getting the coordinates just from the journal? Of those I can see as scrolling doesn't work, I have #26. Not sure where from as I only have 45 in this run and haven't been thinking about them too much, but I do recall a handful were in some fairly remote/obscure areas.

The only way I've been able to find the coordinates is by using F8 to take a debug screenshot.

One more Timberwolf. This brings the count up to 151 out of 165. Fourteen more to go :-)

Just looking around as I'm collecting wood, hunting, carcass havesting, starting fires, cooking, eating, boiling water, drinking, and sleeping.... saying to myself, "have I ever looked there before"? :-)

Got one:
Ravine #79 (-848.7, 133.1, -196.5)
ProsPex Oct 21, 2018 @ 6:51am 
@zsenden - it's not even funny how many times I've closely walked by that spot! That's the way it seems to be for these last few.... they're right out there in the open :-)
Thanks for the update!
