Geocache Description:

At the listed coordinates you will find the Mt Nebo summit register. You will need some information from the register to find the location of the cache log.

Welcome to the Utah county highpoint!! I hope you enjoy the view!

For this hike I strongly recommend parking at N 39° 50.900 W 111° 43.317 and hiking the North ridge.

To find the log you have to do some simple math.
At the posted coordinates:

1- Note the number welded on the summit register.

Using that number:
Add it decimal portion of the North minutes:
N39 49.111 + welded number = North decimal minutes

Subtract it from the deciimal portion of the West. W111 45.820 - welded number = West decimal minutes

If the number equals more than .999 or less than .000 be sure to carry and/or borrow the 1. if needed

If you are not clear on this please feel free to email me before heading out.

*please note Travel bugs and cachunuts are not recommended in this cache.

The purpose of this cache is to log the county highpoint.
So, If you make this hike and are unable to solve the puzzle above, just make sure you sign the log in the existing summit register and provide photos or a trip report telling about the hike.
