Geocache Description:

This is a Multi-Cache in which you must track down 5 specific travel bugs (which will be moving around Berkshire County from GeoCache to Geocache as normal travel bugs would) and record the tracking #s from them. You must then use the tracking #s in an equation to determine the coordinates for the final cache.

Nothing is at the coordinates listed, but the final cache is within ½ mile of the listed coordinates.

The reference numbers, names of the travel bugs and required equation are as follows:

Reference #______Names of the TBs________________________Tracking #s

TB2157Y_________Follow the Berkshire County TBs #2_________- - - - D -

Final Cache location N 42° 1 A . B C D W 073° 0 E . F G H

The original contents are 6 newly activated TBs that begin their journey at this cache as well as:

5 un-activated TBs for the F5TF
Smegley's Revenge TB
4 Small cache containers
12 Micro cache containers
3 Nano cache containers
2 Glow sticks
12 Small neodymium super-magnets
12 Medium neodymium super-magnets
1 Large neodymium super-magnet
1 Mini LED flashlight

Though not required, I ask that when you find this cache, you take at least one TB, and leave at least one TB for every one you take. (DO NOT LEAVE ANY OF THE “Follow the Berkshire County TBs #_” IN THE FINAL CACHE)

The FTF prize is an un-activated TB and 3 GeoCache containers of your choosing.
There are 4 additional un-activated TBs, one for each of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th to find!

Below is an example of the tag attached to each travel bug
