The 1st leg of this cache will take your breath when you are taken to a location in view of the Union Pacific Railroads’ largest classification yard in the world!
The observation decks over-look the diesel shop, 315 miles of track and the massive yard that covers 2,850 acres (enough room to enclose 2,800 football fields).
Where else could you go to get a view like this?
Hours are 10:00am - 7:00pm Monday-Saturday and 1:00pm - 7:00pm Sundays - Fee to access the decks.
At level 7, open air observation deck.
At level 8, which is the closed in observation deck - You will need to count all the double outlets you can see.
Fill in the 1st portion of the coordinates with the answer you got from the 8th level question above but first double it:
N 41° 08. 3_ _
Fill in the second portion of the coordinates with the answer to the following question: Add the occupancy numbers from the 7th and 8th level decks then subtract 205 from that number to get the last part of the West coordinates.
W 100° 48. _ _ _
Once you have solved this simple math problem and have enjoyed the view, head to these new coordinates where you will be looking for a 50 cal ammo box with lots of goodies.
Check hours the first leg is open & second leg of the cache is a sunrise to sunset ONLY!
FTF - A Railroad Geocoin for you to keep and a boxed gift plus a reusable FTF certificate. You can keep the certificate if you want for your scrapbook.
