Geocache Description:

A 2 stage cache where the difficulty level can be higher if you do not have the equipment or don't understand the equipment you have. Or for the same reasons it could be very easy.

This is a camoed seed cache.

In this challenge, you must go to the posted coords. Here you will find a bridge. Count the number of planks (boards you walk on) from one end to the other that will be "A". Then count the total number of thick posts on both handrails that will be "B". Finally count the number of small post between two of the thick posts that will be "C".

To solve for this puzzle go to Southeast corner of the bridge and stand at the end of the handrail.

Now project your waypoint by setting your bearing to 1st digit = C, 2nd digit = (C-1), 3rd digit = (C+2) degrees and your distance to (A*B)-C feet.
