Your goal during this first phase is to reach the cache at N37°AA.BB1 W122°CC.DD0 where AA, BB, CC, DD are determined below.
You will begin your journey at N37°15.140 W121°59.120.
E = the house number of this corner house (with the pastoral setting painted on the mailbox).
F = Bilbo's age at the long-expected party.

- by wading then BB = 86.
CC = the number of hobbits in the fellowship.
