cameltrekor: Stopped by today to check on the cache and to my dismay someone absconded with the ammo can leaving the innards in two ziplock bags. It's time for this to end.

Geocache Description:

Revised: July 13, 2004.
This is a three step multicache covering about 1 mile ending at a mid-sized ammo can with an assortment of items and a logbook. You might want to bring paper and a pencil.


1) Proceed to the above coordinates.
There you will find four years listed.
Read the years left to right and top to bottom (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4).
Now, let A=Y2-Y1 and B=Y4-Y3.
Find C=2A-B+3 and D=5A-6B+2.

Step 2 is at coordinates offset from the original by
N(+0 0.C) and W(-0 0.D).
Proceed to the second coordinates.

2) Look for a metal sign and find the last number listed.
Decode as follows:
Let P= first three digits, and Q=last three digits
Now, R=(Q-3)/10+5 and S=P/3-11
(make sure R and S are 3 digits long)

Step 3 is at coordinates offset from step 2 by
N(+0 0.R) and W(-0. 0.S)
Proceed to the third coordinates.

3) Find ammo can with trade items and log book.

enjoy the walk back and the views.
