Four digit year: ABCD
Coordinates are in degrees, minutes, decimal minutes format: DD
MM.MMM
Note: The brackets below are used to separate the digits.
Don't use the brackets for multiplication. The answer will be in
the format: DD MM.MMM
Substitute the numbers for letters in the coordinates below:
N 39 [ C*3 ][ D*2 ].[ A*3 ][ C*3 ][ C+D ]
W 105 [ A ][ C*3 ].[ A-C ][ B ][ C+D ]
Start from either the east or west parking lots. If you park on
the west side, the trail will be pretty flat. The 3.5 terrain
rating assumes you park at the east Mt. Falcon parking lot.
In
the early 1900s, John Brisben Walker owned most of the property
where Mt. Falcon and Red Rocks parks exist today. While building
his home nearby, Walker envisioned an entire resort on top of Mt.
Falcon and proposed the construction of a Summer Home for the
Presidents of the United States nearby. Before being dedicated, a
white marble cornerstone (from Marble, Colorado) was displayed in
Denver to attract interest in the project. Walker offered to donate
the land and $50,000 cash to help finance construction. The town of
Morrison pledged $1,000. Jefferson County Commissioners began
trying to raise funds and urged all Coloradans to contribute.
Schoolchildren were asked to each donate a dime. President Woodrow
Wilson was invited to the dedication ceremony...but only local
dignitaries showed up. Partially due to World War I, interest in
the project waned...and little besides the cornerstone, some
foundations and a few walls were built.
The cache container initially contains a logbook and pencil, an
emergency dog leash, a lanyard, some Narnia pins and other tiny
swag. There's a digital travel alarm as a FTF prize.
Congrats to Prescottazbob on the FTF!
