Geocache Description:


FTF – Congratulations go to Blue Power Ranger, tomison, and R-L-PAINTER for their determination and persistence after a late night on the town. Look up; the Great Bear is smiling (grin).

(Tread lightly. This cache is not on the ground so there is no need to disturb the plants or stumps. Best approach is from the North.)

This bonus cache is your reward for successfully finding all six caches in the “Hunting the Great Bear” series. If you have already found all six caches, then you have most of the materials needed to complete your “Great Bear Claw” necklace.

Along the way you should have identified the icons (pictures) needed to find the Great Bear Claw; one icon was included in each of the six caches.

The posted coordinates are for parking. To find the actual location of the Great Bear Claw, you will need to assign a number from 0 to 9 to each of the icons found in the six caches (hopefully you remember which icon you found in each cache):

0 =

 

5 =

1 =

 

6 =

2 =

 

7 =

3 =

 

8 =

4 =

 

9 =

Replace the last three digits of the actual location's North and West coordinates, below, with the numbers corresponding to the pictures found in each of the six caches:

Actual location = N 47 20.ABC W 122 16.DEF

A = the picture found in Hunting the Great Bear, Part 1: GC1ABPD
B = the picture found in Hunting the Great Bear, Part 2: GC1RXZ0
C = the picture found in Hunting the Great Bear, Part 3: GC1ABPJ
D = the picture found in Hunting the Great Bear, Part 4: GC1ABPK
E = the picture found in Hunting the Great Bear, Part 5: GC1ABPM
F = the picture found in Hunting the Great Bear, Part 6: GC1EWHG

Now go find the cache and take one of the bear claws for your necklace. Please let me know when the supplies start to run low so that I can refill them.

Good luck.
