The town is named Cool not because of the temperature or because
the residents are just so laid back but it is named after a Gold
Rush era preacher named Aaron Cool.
Near the starting coordinates you will find an area where there
are hundreds of numbers.
This is where you will find the decimal portion of the final
coordinates.
The first part of the coordinates are:
N38°53.xxx'
W121°01.0xx'
To get the three digits you need for the Latitude.
Start with 121 - go down 8 and to the right 6 then subtract 200
To get the two digits you need for the Longitude.
Start with 1 - go down 2 and to the right 9
The two numbers you need added together should add up to 202
The final stage is is not under a pile of rocks or sticks.
You can find it and retreive it without moving anything.
From the cache site you can see the entire town of Cool
including the first stage of this cache and the parking area of the
second stage.
So sit down while signing the log and enjoy the Cool View of Cool.
Trailhead and parking for the second stage are behind the fire
station in Cool, in the vicinity of N 38° 53.339', W 121°
01.041'.
The Auburn State
Recreation Canyon Keepers (ASRACK) have an online Trail
Guide page which includes a guide for the Olmstead Loop.
Please log your find or no find online so I will know how the
cache is doing.
If you feel my coordinates are off please post your coordinates
with your log.
So I can make adjustments if necessary.
No more boring log entries.
Hey folks how about leaving a log entry that tells me something
about finding this geocache or about your day of geocaching? We are
all guilty of the old cut and paste but how about something more
than "Good cache TNLNSL TFTC" on 10+ caches in one day? We cache
owners like to hear about your experiences. It gives us a feeling
of being there when we can't be, how the cache is doing, and it
lets us get to know you in a virtual kind of way. That doesn't mean
it has to be long just not boring.
Remember the cache owners and anyone with a watch on the cache
will read your log, how about making it interesting.
We Thank You.
