Hints
You need to rearrange these letters, but not in linear order.
There's some magic involved here.
The canonical 3x3 magic square: 816/357/492. Can extrapolating from this help you?
Canonical magic square building: Go northeast (with wraparound) if you're not blocked. If blocked, go one space south. Start in the middle of the top row. Place letters in corresponding spaces.
Answer - GO NORTH TO UPPER BAKER DAM
This would have been a good time to tell Team Blue to use the west side of the lake to reach the dam; they lost 1.5 hours here. When we went site-hunting, the east path was blocked by a gate after the first mile or two. We assumed it was always closed.
