B.O.S.N. Strikes It Rich!! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MarshallOD: Time to strike out for other riches. When this cache was first placed, there was a giant gold nugget in the yard across the street...hence the cache title and idea. That nugget is gone now, so we've decided to archive the cache.

Geocache Description:


I did it! I struck it rich and staked my claim on the largest gold find in these parts, and now I never have to work again!! There's so much gold I'll even share it with you. Just follow these directions to locate my stash....I mean cache.

Back when the Pony Express rode through town, a rider's steed would be hitched to a post on Main Street. These days you can enjoy covered parking for your four wheeled steed while you whet your whistle and get some vittles. While you're there, find 7 gold colored reliefs of miners, Pioneers and Pony Express riders. Use those reliefs to find the coordinates for my claim.

The claim is located at N38-44.ABC, W120-48.DEF.

A = total number of burros
B = number of people plus number of wagons
C = total number of burros and horses
D = total number of oxen x 2
E = total number of horses x 2
F = number of miners

ABC checksum = 18
DEF checksum = 19
