This 2-stage
multi is the last (planned) cache of my "Been Here" series.
After 20 years of being employed by manufacturing sites, in
November 1999 I took a job with an Environmental, Health and Safety
consulting firm. For over 4 years I supported a wide range of the
company's clients in a variety of ways. Along the way I made a good
number of friends both within the company and at client sites. I
also gained a great deal of valuable experiences that I used to
increase the confidence within myself that helped me find another
job when it became time for me to finally move on. (Been Here:
Osgood)
I had a hard time finding a spot to hide a cache right near here
where I used to work, and I was finally inspired to make this a
2-stage multi-cache. The first stage is here where I worked, but
the second stage is not. I felt that this is fitting since I spent
far more time away from the main office at client sites than I ever
did at the office!
The cache is about the size of a film can hidden in an area where
I often went for walks, runs and bicycle rides when I worked in the
Sunnyvale area.
Speaking of the "Been Here" series, the series includes the
following in autobiographical chronological order:
Been Here: Walsh
Been Here: Elko and Reamwood (archived)
Been Here: Patrick Henry
Been Here: Pastoria
Been Here: East Java
Been Here: Osgood
My Scotts Valley cache Benchmark Q 1455 is a related cache that
fits in between Walsh and Elko/Reamwood.
Now for the instructions!
Stage One: go to the posted coordinates. You should be standing in
front of a "monument" that has identified 3 separate street
addresses for the 3 different portions of the building before you
to the northwest. (You are at the correct location if the name of
the middle company is a 4-letter acronym.) From left to right these
addresses are:
PQR and STV East Java, and WXYZ Geneva.
The cache is hidden at 37 2A.BCD North 12E FG.HJK West
A = R + Y + Z
B = V + X + Z
C = P
D = S
E = W + Y
F = V - Z
G = Z - X
H = P + Q - S
J = S * V
K = Y
Enjoy! And happy caching!
