Geocache Description:

With the recent rash of Cal Bear micro-caches already found, there was a need for a new one so that you can get to know some of the bears more intimately.

  • Go to stop 1 (the posted coordinates). There you'll find three classes. In numeric order, I've called them Class A, Class B and Class C. (Use the two digit class number - e.g., Summer of '42)
  • Coordinates for stop 2: N37.52.(C*7-A*3) W122.15.(6*A + 8*B)
  • Go to stop 2. That class is D.
  • Coordinates for stop 3: N37.52.(2*A+7/3*D) W122.15.(7B+10D)
  • Go to stop 3. That is Class E.
  • Coordinates for stop 4: N37.52.(10*E + 5*D) W122.15.(10*E + 5*C)
  • Go to stop 4. That is Class F.

To find the coordinates for the final bear, you will need to know a bit about "Da Bears":

N37.52.UVW W122.15.XYZ

Where:

  • U = BT + DT
  • V = CL + DL
  • W = AW + ET
  • X = FT + DT
  • Y = EW + CT
  • Z = BW - CL

IF you can't find the micro while rooting around in the rocks, just email me a description of the final bear and its environs.
