Geocache Description:

Are you old school or new school?

At the end of each projection below there is a piece of information (OK, a finite cardinal number) that you will use to find the cache at:

N 47 39.AABBCC W 122 16.DDEEFF (where the letters refer to the waypoint prefixes)

If you are old school ("Not that there's anything wrong with that"), then you drive (or bike) to each reference point, do a projection using your GPS, drive (bike) to the next point and so on until you are at the clue location. To gather all six clues I figure will take about 3-4 hours (all day if done on bike).

If you are new school you'll take advantage of the cache title. Done that way, I figure it's about 20-30 minutes to solve for the final coordinates.

Happy hunting!

Congratulations to SeaC2 for the old school FTF and Rodgowdy for the new school FTF!
