Geocache Description:

You'll have a gas trying to find this multi-stage cache that commemorates the 1st ever GeoTeaming event held in Discovery Park for the Adobe Corporation. This is a 3 stage cache, mostly on paved and gravel paths with a slight elevation gain and a little off road access for the final stage. The total hike shouldn't be more than 1.5 miles and should be kid-friendly and gorgeous on a sunny day.

Remember your order of precedence: http://www.relaypoint.net/~carlan/prealg.html#OrderOps

Go to http://www.adobe.com and find the street address for Adobe's Seattle Office AAA.
Go to the start point and find out the time when the park closes HHMM.

Stage 2 – Little known facts

W 122 20.JJ
III=(3*GGG)+133
