Geocache Description:

Inspired by Rodgowdy, specifically his cache "Gilman Playground" (GC19959) so maybe it's a tricky one? THIS IS A NANO SIZED CACHE. So bring a something to write with!

First to find goes to Honest Servius, Uber Uno and RockHeron!

Upon arrival you will need to find the exact point from which you will project a waypoint.

THE POSTED COORDINATES (N 47° 40.251 W 122° 22.405) ARE NOT WHERE YOU START FROM!

Clue: (This is a riddle)You will need to be standing at the top of a crest, warded by yellow.

There are two minds of compass settings on GPSr's, Magnetic North and True North. I have provided the headings for each.

MAGNETIC NORTH USERS
Once you are standing in the right spot, project a waypoint on a heading aproximately of 199 degrees, at a distance of 138 yards. Proper declination for this area was factored into the heading, and is correct as of January 7th, 2013.

TRUE NORTH USERS
Once you are standing in the right spot, project a waypoint on a aproximate heading of 216 degrees, at a distance of 138 yards.

REMEMBER!
In either instance (True or Magnetic North) Please consider that GPSr's are not pinpoint accurate. They can be off by as much as 25 feet! Which can cause your heading (in degrees) to be off considerably at such a short distance.

At the final destination, there may or may not be LOTS of muggles about. -It all depends on the time of day you arrive.
