Geocache Description:

A nice stroll or bike ride along the Boulder Creekpath

CACHE IS NOT AT GIVEN COORDS!

 

Hidden in hopes that Christina Ricci will knock on my door to thank me personally. (If you haven't seen the movie, it is (was) pretty good.)

NOTE  11/9/17

Alas, after over 10 years and 274 finds, yet another “snake” has “died”.  Writeup has been modified accordingly, final is still at the same location.  (And C. R. still hasn’t called me.)

SO,

1. Go to the given coords

2. Count the number of vertical black “snakes”;  this is “N”

3. Final is ABC feet from the given coords;  bearing (true) from given coords to final is XYZ degrees

         where         A = 5 - N

                           B = 6 - N

                           C = 3 - N

and

                           X = N

                           Y = 3 - N

                           Z = N + 3

(String A, B & C and X, Y & Z together into two 3-digit numbers)

Very straightforward nano.  Log only, no pen.  Watch for muggles, very popular area.

NOTE: No real snakes were harmed in placing this cache.
