Geocache Description:

This is the Mystery cache. Cache is NOT at posted coordinates (This was original parking area)

This cache is part of my Alphabet Series. Usually there will be 4 or 5 caches in a given location. One cache is a Mystery cache and the others are traditional. One does the traditional caches first and gathers the information to find the Mystery cache. Each cache contains a number that should be recorded. After Z is published, a final cache (Total Alphabet)will be placed. To find the coordinates of Total Alphabet, one will need to have found all 26 Alphabet caches. This cache is part of the sixth series of Alphabet Caches. This set contains four caches W, X, Y, and Z. You should plan on hiking about 2 miles to get all 4 caches The original suggested parking area for all 4 caches was N 39 16.363 by W 76 57.765 which a small pull off on Triadelphia Rd. However, several years ago, a fire hydrant and a no parking sign appeared. Can find parking on Conchita Drive & walk ~ 0.2 miles to park. An alternative parking is on the other side of the park on Jumper Hill Lane at (N39 15.806, W076 56.996). From here one will need to cross a small stream. Cache Z is 10~15 ft off the trail. The coordinates of Z are N 39 16.WAB W 076 57.CXD where A = Y - X, B = Y - 5X, C=2B, and D = Y+X
