Geocache Description:

Since this sport is a hi-tech takeoff from orienteering, the coordinates are at an orienteering marker. It is an easy flat 1 mile round trip walk.

This is an easy multi or offset cache in that the coordinates point to an orienteering marker, which is a 4' high metal fencepost with a 2" x 2" plastic marker that contains 2 letters. Convert these 2 letters into numbers (A=1, Z=26). Multiply the 2 numbers and subtract 14 from the result. (1st letter times 2nd letter) - 14 = X, where X is the number of feet at a magnetic bearing of 222 degrees from the marker to where the cache is hidden. This distance was guesstimated by taking long steps, so your mileage may differ, but it should get you close enough to easily find the cache.

The cache is in a plastic container and contains a pencil and small logbook with a few items. Park at the lowest point on the road through the park and follow the Green rock trail in.
