Geocache Description:

A simple multi-cache in an interesting Livermore location honoring (sort of) a famous Northern Californian.

This place is owned by the City of Livermore and is open to the public, though it might not look like it as you drive in. I don't think it is open at night. The second stage is a very short walk from the first.

When you get to the listed location, there is a plaque. Get the following information off of it:

Date the plaque was dedicated: April 16, 199Y
E. Clampus Vitus Chapter Number: CC
Number of letters in honoree's last name: L

Now calculate:

AAA = Y * (CC + 1)
XXX = L * (CC - 1) - 2

Use these numbers to find the position of the cache. Add AAA (in thousandths of a minute) to the north coordinate and subtract XXX (in thousandths of a minute) from the west coordinate.

The container is a green Bison tube.
