There is a little math to do to find the cache, but the real mystery is what this place is. If anyone knows anything about it, please post the information! As it is, this is one of my favorite places in the San Fernando Valley, as it is such a throwback.

The coords will take you to good parking (unless it's street cleaning time) and the best view of the mysterious area.

To find the cache, a mint strips container, take the Metro number that you see on the sign just to the east, subtract 127, then subtract that answer from the posted longitude to get the cache's W coordinates. The N coords are 34ยบ11.583.

Interesting place! Note: if you forget to change the N coord like I did at first you'll go to the wrong one. Finally found it. Try looking up this location on Zillow to see what might be worth. SL. TFTC.

I got a hint from another cacher. I think the key is to subtract from UTM East.

Had I been more observant the maths wouldn't have been necessary, because I first took a quick look at where I thought it must be. Failing to spot it, I went back and did the required sums, only to return to the same spot. SL.

Pretty funny. Parked almost at GZ, then went to find the clue and came back to GZ again. Cool place. TFTC.
