Oilfield Relic #14 - WESTEC Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

elrojo14: After a morning CITO, I am out running around on the Pirate Yamaha XT225 today maintaining Doctor Alien Head hides and I stopped by to check on this one. The final location now has barbed wire welded along the top! So that means this one is gone for the last time.

Geocache Description:

Flashlight. BYOP

At the posted coordinates you will find Oilfield Relic #14. However, it is too close to an existing cache. At ground zero you will find a word and a letter.

In order to find the final location, you will need to convert the ground zero word and letter into numbers. a=1, b=2, c=3 and so on until z=26. Then substitute the numbers into this format.
ABCDEFG
    H
Then use this forumula:
N 35° C-H.B*D-2(F) W 119° A+G.E+G
to find the final with the container and log. Note that the decimals in the formula only follow the coordinate pattern and are not to be used as decimals in the equation.

This series is dedicated to the monuments of oilfield past that are scattered across Kern County. These old relics were obviously no longer useful for anything except to adorn the front entrances of modern oil facilities or private residences. However, I am giving them new life by being a place to hide new Geocaches on or nearby.

Be sure to find the whole series!
