Geocache Description:

* Cache is NOT at the posted Coordinates. *



Sasquatch Lake - named after John Bringsli's 1960 encounter with a large hairy apelike creature in the area. He described the creature as being 7-9ft tall, bluish gray, having hands and no neck. It's ape-like head appeared to be fastened directly to its wide shoulders.

This cache can be as elusive as the fabled sasquatch and may take many days to solve, The high difficulty reflects the fact that you may need to travel to the Anarchist Summit, Creston, Los Angeles and Northern China. Who knows, you might even see a sasquatch or two during your travels, or a Yeti, if you make it to Northern China.
(well, maybe you could use Google Earth or Google Maps for some of the places)

N49° 4A.BCD
W117° 1E.FGH

Use the clues below to fill in the sequence above, which will take you to the final cache site.

A, B and C can be found at N49° 05.304 - W116° 30.489 There you will find a dedication plaque.
A = The first numerical digit after the word June
B = The second number of the residential address of the RV park across the street from the plaque.
C = The fourth number (turned upside down) of the residential address of the RV park across the street from the plaque.

D can be found at N34° 03.063 W118° 15.608
D = The numer on the roof of that building.

E, F and G can be found on a picture on this cache page titled "answers". There you will find a large rock with numbers engraved.
E = fifth number plus the sixth number
F = second number.
G = third number.

H can be found at N40° 30.775 E75° 23.111
H = the large number drawn in the sand in the year 2005

The final cache will include a short level hike of less than 1km round trip. The high terrain rating refers to the last 10 meters leading up to the sasquatches lair. All the stages I'd consider a terrain of 1 or 2, and perhaps a 2.5 for the final. The cache is a regular size locknlock located about two thirds of the way into the lair, lower left.
