There's a reasonable amount of walking from start to finish on
this cache. Please allow 5-10 kiloseconds to complete this
cache.
Things You Need to Know:
- Every (metric) day has
100,000 (metric) seconds = 1,000 (metric) minutes = 10 (metric) hours
- Every right angle has 100 grads, which makes for a full
circle being 400 grads.
- UTM coordinates are conveniently given in a grid of
meters.
- Prefixes matter: tera- = 1,000,000,000,000,
giga- = 1,000,000,000, mega = 1,000,000,
myrio- = 10,000, kilo- = 1,000,
hecto = 100, deka = 10, deci = 1/10,
centi- = 1/100, milli- = 1/1000,
micro- = 1/1,000,000, nano- = 1/1,000,000,000,
pico- = 1/1,000,000,000,000.
- One special historical unit, the Ångstrom, is one-tenth of a
nanometer.
Stages of this Multi-cache:
Note that you should keep all waypoints marked until you've
completed the cache.
Point 1: this is a standard small cache at the given
coordinates. It will give you UTM coordinates for Point 2. (In case
you really need it, there should also be copies of these 10 points
- but better would be bringing along your own copy to take notes
on.)
Point 2: this is a standard micro at the coordinates from
Point 1. It gives instructions for what to look for nearby but
on the other side of the trail that has the micro at Point
3.
Point 3: this is a standard micro at the description from
Point 2. It will provide a distance and a true bearing to find
Point 4.
Point 4: this is a standard micro at the calculated
location from Point 3. From here, it gives another distance and
true bearing to get to Point 5 – conversions necessary.
Point 5: this is a standard micro. It gives two
distances: one north or south, followed by one east or west. Follow
those directions – conversions necessary.
Point 6: this is a standard micro that provides a
calculation to be made.
Point 7: this is a standard micro. Much like Point 2, It
gives instructions for what to look for to get to Point 8.
Point 8: this is a standard micro. Once found, you will
travel one-tenth of the way back from Point 8 towards
Point 3 to find Point 9.
Point 9: this is a standard micro that provides the final
calculation to determine the location of the logbook at Point 10
for this cache. (Remember: everything about this cache is
given in metric! Everything!)
Point 10: this is a standard regular cache with a
logbook. Thanks for caching in metric.
Usual Disclaimers:
You are assuming the risk of adventure when you go geocaching. I
have not set out anything to significantly increase that risk.
Additionally, pay attention to park boundaries, nature's hazards,
your body's own warning signs, etc., etc. Most importantly, hunting
is allowed in this park, so pay attention to hunting season.
