The Goethe Giant Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Isonzo Karst: My ammo can was at the base of the Quercus virginiana sign, both can and sign present. The Giant is still standing out there. Lost some limbs, some big ones, from the cut wood around the base.
Entirely missing is the information sign used for the coords formula. I removed the cache,as it's not hunted much and the maintenance trip is long one for me.

Geocache Description:

Ammo can cache, on the ground. Somewhat exposed to trail traffic, please recover well! An opportunity to meet a 900 year old Giant who lives at the end of a boardwalk, a 5 minute walk from parking. One of Florida's Champion Bald Cypress.

Coords above will have you looking into the navel of the Giant. While you're standing there, look south for his younger cousin, another strapping fellow.

Now go back along the boardwalk about 70 feet and look on the south side for the sign about Bald Cypress. On that sign, you'll find a three digit number, "ABC feet". Substitute those values in this formula for the coordinates for the final. Ammo can back along the trail.

N 29° 13.(B+B)86 W 082° 37.(A+B)60


Big Cypress trail, where the Giant lives, is about 3 miles up a well maintained dirt road. This road will accommodate almost any passenger car, 4x not needed. DEET is needed, the Giant lives in a swamp, attended by millions upon millions of insects. The Giant won't eat you, but they will.
