Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates!

A cache along the great Black Mountain trails.

This cache is the final part of the "Another trip up" series.

Over the last few months we've been trying hard to clear all the caches on Black Mountain. It seems like every time we find the last remaining one, a new one pops up, sometimes just hours later. This cache series is in honor of all the folks who launched caches on Black Mountain after we thought we had found them all. Originally we had planned to launch one cache from the series per day, but we decided that would be too mean. We feel bad enough for FlagMan who was the only one to try for the first cache and get the FTF. We had even contemplated placing a Multicache on Black Mountain with alternating WPs at the top then at the bottom.

For the first 3 parts of the series, there's a single letter clue inside the container. Use these letters and the decoding keys below to calculate the coordinates of the final cache.

Actual cache is a camo'd koolade container located at:
N 32° 58.341
W 117° 06.(Another Trip Up)(Another Trip Up - Day 2)(Another Trip Up - Day 3)
