Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the given coordinates. In fact, if you were to go to the listed location you might get run over by a large cargo moving vehicle of either the eighteen or steel wheel type.

Seattle Bell FTF Trilogy Series
This is cache #2 of a trilogy setup by DrTusk and Shaddow to pass along the Seattle FTF Bell. In order to claim the bell you must be the first to find the third cache. In order to find it, you must find the second cache in the series, and to find that one you must of course find the first cache.

Each of the caches presents a specific type of challenge:
1. Puzzle
2. Terrain
3. Camouflage

Each cache is focused on the specific challenge and the remaining aspects are minimized. For example, step one requires quite a bit of mental dexterity however the terrain and camo are relatively easy and simple. The remaining two are similar in that one aspect is more difficult while the other two are relatively minimal.

The caches are:
1. Double Trouble GC22WVK 4.0/1.5
2. Why? GC22WVM 1.5/3.5
3. Camo Punk GC22WVN 4.5/1.5

As noted above, your reward for being first to solve and find all of the caches in the trilogy will be the Seattle FTF Bell. After that? Personal satisfaction will have to do…

The Cache
A bushwhack cache that will muddy the clothes, challenge one’s footing and quite possible draw a little blood. It’s not too far of the beaten path to keep it within reason while at the same time far enough to give a little taste of off-trail adventure.

Please note the CODE PHRASE in the log book. This will be required for the next cache Camo Punk GC22WVN.

To find this cache take the code word found in Double Trouble GC22WVK and use the information below to determine the coordinates.

Cache #1 in this series contains a 5 letter code (ABCDE).
Convert each character into the number value (A=1, B=2, etc).
Complete the following equation to reach the final.

N 47 34.(A*C*E)-B+E
W 122 22.(C*D)+A
