Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT located at the published coordinates


Note: Beacon is not required but will make getting the final coords easier.

Figure out where this picture was taken and you'll find the 1st stage hidden under those rocks.

Inside the container you'll find instructions on finding the cache. There are two approaches.
Approach 1
uses a beacon to transmit the final coordinates. You'll need to have a compatible Garmin GPSr with the current firmware that supports the "chirp". GPSr needs to be set-up to receive the signal and having the sound on helps. The final coordinates will be received by your GPSr when you're within 30-40' of the beacon.

Approach 2 is a more traditional and ancient method where you'll need to project a bearing. Use a compass or your GPSr set to magnetic.
At this spot you'll need to find a bison container. Coords to the final are inside.

In your log indicate which approach you took to find the final.
