Geocache Description:

A tribute to a classic

The posted coordinates will bring you to the hide location for garyhenry's now archived Wag That Tail -- Then Pick it Up cache. As he wrote in the original cache description:
The title is a bit of a clue. When you get close, you'll figure it out.

I remember when I found this cache that it brought a smile to my face when I saw the correlation between the title of the cache and the hide location. But my smile turned to a frown when I realized that the area around the cache was wet, and it wasn't due to irrigation.

That made for a bit of an icky grab!

Now that the icky cache has been archived, I've decide to honor it with my first multi-stage cache. But this is easy. All you have to do is visit the hide location of the original cache. About a foot off the ground you should see a single digit number which we'll call X (because everybody knows I like "X" ). The new cache can be found in one of two ways.

The first way is by projecting a waypoint from the posted coordinates (X3-110) feet at an angle of (X2+110.338) degrees true north. (That's X cubed - 110 and X squared + 110.338 for those viewing this on something other than a "real" browser).

The second way is by subtracting .0ab from the latitude and .0cd from the longitude where ab=(X*5)+1 and cd=X+10

Hopefully this cache won't be as icky.

The cache itself is a bison-style tube, so it is sign-only, and please bring your own writing utensil.
