Geocache Description:

This cache is on the grounds of the Bayley House which is part of the Georgetown Divide Recreation District.

The Bayley House was built during the Gold Rush to serve the Railroad.
It is also known as "Bayley's Folly". Read the kiosk to learn more.

The coordinates listed for this cache are NOT the location of the cache.
They are just your starting coordinates. They are also near the kiosk and parking area.

For this cache you will have to find information on the kiosk and use it to get the cache coordinates from the starting coordinates.

Take the decimal portion of the minutes of latitude of the starting coordinates (656).
Treat it as a whole number and add to it the two digit year that the Bayley House was completed (18yy) then multiply the number of rooms by 2 and add that product to it too.
In other words 656 + yy + (2 x rooms)= result
Now substitute the result back into the decimal minutes of latitude.

In the kiosk there are many pictures but one contains the information you will need to find the longitude of the cache. That is the picture in the lower left hand corner of the kiosk.
In the lower right hand corner of the picture is a number in the format ##-P88-#.
Take the decimal portion of the minutes of longitude of the starting coordinates (893).
Treat it as a whole number and subtract the two digit number then add the single digit number.
In other words 893 - ## + # = result
Now substitute the result back into the decimal minutes of longitude.

This will give you the coordinates of the cache.

The cache is a 1.7 Qt Rubbermaid container

Warning: In the Summer months (Sticker Season) there are lots of stickers between the first and last stages. So wear your gators and keep your dogs out of the weeds. Other months of the year this cache is dog (and sock) friendly.
