Geocache Description:


The cache IS NOT at the posted coords.

The cache is accessible seven days a week from 8 AM until dark.


Excalibur was a sword embedded in stone. Only "the right person" could pull it from the stone, and be recognized as King.

In the last several years they might require a thumb print or a retinal scan to prove that you're "the right person" to enter a place and withdraw something valuable or sign a document.

Today you'll need only your age and weight to prove that you're "the right person" to enter GZ, open the cache and sign the log! Bring your own pen!

YOUR AGE:
1. Add the digits of your age.
  (If your age is "41", you'll add 4 and 1 to get 5)
  (If you are younger than 10, your age is your answer)
2. Multiply your answer by 10 and add it to 321 to get ABC.
  Example for an answer of 5:
  5 times 10 = 50, then 50 plus 321 = 371, so ABC = 371
3. Reverse ABC to find CBA.
4. Subtract CBA from ABC to get DEF. (ABC minus CBA = DEF)
5. Reverse DEF to get FED.
6. Add DEF and FED to get GHIJ. (DEF plus FED = GHIJ)
7. Subtract 194 from GHIJ to get UVW. (GHIJ minus 194 = UVW)

YOUR WEIGHT:
1. Add the digits of your weight.
  (If your weight is "175", you'll add 1 and 7 and 5 to get 13)
  (If your weight is "73", you'll add 7 and 3 to get 10)
2. Multiply your answer by 10 and add it to 531 to get KLM.
  Example for an answer of 13:
  13 times 10 = 130, then 130 plus 531 = 661, so KLM = 661)
3. Reverse your KLM to find MLK.
4. Subtract MLK from KLM to get NOP. (KLM minus MLK = NOP)
5. Reverse NOP to get PON.
6. Add NOP and PON to get QRST. (NOP plus PON = QRST)
7. Subtract 156 from QRST to get XYZ. (QRST minus 156 = XYZ)

PARKING and the TRAILHEAD are at 38 04.UVW 75 33.XYZ.
You can check your PARKING & TRAILHEAD solution online.

NOW, TO FIND THE FINAL CACHE LOCATION, SUBTRACT .037 from .UVW and ADD .023 to .XYZ.
