Geocaching 201 - In Plain Sight Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Skookum Bear: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if it was missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within a reasonable amount of time, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities. If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current Geocaching guidelines.

Please do not respond to this note by sending an email reply - your response will go to an unmonitored location and disappear into the ether instead of being sent to me. If you need to contact me regarding this cache, please do so using the link on my Profile Page

Thank you for your contribution to geocaching.

Geocache Description:

This is a three-stage multi cache. All stages are "hidden in plain sight". If you seek the numbers, you can find your way to the next stage. These caches are on the trail itself.

All caches are located along the trail.

The first stage of the cache uses a method that I have not seen before. I have only seen the second stage used a few times before. This cache is intended to be a challenge.

The cache is placed along the "Rails with Trails" path. There is a big black fence that separates you from the train tracks. It is there for a reason. You do not need to climb or enter the fenced area for any reason.

All 3 stages are not on the ground.

The parking coordinate provided can only be accessed by going south on Spall Rd. You may have to turn around/circle to get to it.

The second stage points to the old final coordinate and will take you near the "larger one" of 2. You must now add 0.082 to the first coordinate and add 0.065 to the second coordinate to get to the true final. When stage 2 is updated, I will note it here.

The new final is now hidden in plain sight.
