I open Google Maps to the vicinity of where I would like coordinates.
I use my right click mouse button and select "center map here" from the drop down button.
I past this javascript code that I keep saved somewhere convenient on my computer into my browser's URL address window.

Here's the code: Code:

javascript:void(prompt(,gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));

I click the "go to the address in the location bar" button usually to the right of the address.
A popup appears showing the coordinates of the center of the map like this: (43.60336, -110.7362)
I right click on the coordinates the copy and click either "OK" or "Cancel"
I then paste the coordinates into google's "search maps" text box, remove the parenthesis and click "Search Maps"
A popup appears with a marker for the centered spot. The popup has the coordinates in both Decimal Degrees and Degrees, Minutes, Seconds.
I refine as and if necessary and I have my way point for inserting into my GPS.

Sluice locations

1.) Patterson creek: 44 degrees 31 minutes 23 seconds N ; 113 degrees 42 minutes 40 seconds West To get to Patterson Creek Rd you drive past Makay on Hi 93 and past the Mt.

You come to a junction near (44 degress 25'51"; 113 deg 43'38") stay to the right and turn onto Hatch Ln and don't got left on Custer Rd. Hatch lane turns goes left near (44 deg 24'12"; 113 deg 42'30") Don't continue strait. You want to look for "Farm to Market road" or Pashimori Road as they will take you north to Patterson.
