Geocache Description:


**The above coordinates are for parking...The cache is not there**


Along this well kept paved trail are many varieties of birds to be seen, but one bird that is commonly heard is the Northern Flicker. The call of the Northern Flicker is Kwikwikwikwi...


As you make your way to waypoint 1, note all the varieties of birds you see and hear along the trail.
At waypoint 1: N 45° 42.990 W 122° 41.694

You will be standing between some tall rocks as your looking over the vaste wetlands. Count the number of tall rocks to your right and count the number to your left. Make sure to take pictures of any water fowl you see.

Let the number of rocks to the right + the number of rocks to the left = A

Continue on down the path...Watch out for snakes!

At waypoint 2: N 45° 42.872 W 122° 41.397 Count the number of Pseudotsuga menziesii trees you are standing right next to. (Hint: Ask David or Doug) There used to be 1

Let this number = B

Note the wire mesh around the trunk/s...why is that there? Touch the needles gently (old or young?)

Continue down the path...Watch for coyote scat (it has hair in it)

At waypoint 3: N 45° 42.791 W 122° 41.277

Don't cross me! Note the numbers below the weight limit (Should be five numbers).

C = the sum of the numbers divided by 3.

D = A/2

E = A^2-34

F = C+B

G = The number of letters in the first word of the title.

Coordinates to the Final:
