Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates.

This is the final part in the series of caches at nearby fountains.


A massive waterfall cascades down rocks and boulders, tumbling under a picturesque bridge where onlookers gather to watch the torrent. It isn't unusual to see wedding parties gather in their formal attire so they can take pictures in this beautiful setting. Is this a roaring river in Yosemite? No, it is in San Ramon, close to tract homes and golf courses.

To get the coordinates for this cache, you must first find the other three caches at nearby fountains.* All the caches are within a 1.5 mile radius of this one. The other caches will give you the values for W, X, Y and Z, which you will use to figure out:

N37 46.ABC
W121 56.DEF

A = X / W
B = X * Z
C = Z + W
D = (Y + Z) / X
E = (Y + X) - (Z - W)
F = Z * W

In no particular order, the other fountain caches you need to visit first are:

Ain't No Fountain High Enough (GC1TFR9) *This cache is gone. W = 1
Big Rock Candy Fountain (GC1TFQR)*This cache is gone. X = 2
Oops, I Think My Water Broke (GC1TFP7) Z = 4, Y = 6

There isn't any parking on the street in front of this cache. There is designated fountain parking around the corner on S. Chanterella Drive.
