Point G. Get to the "center-point." (Lat. 36 34.576 Lon. 121 41.120 The cache is definitely not at these coordinates, these are the coordinates for the "Love Seat!")
This cache is located at a double offset from the center (Point G) of the largest of the same kind of geometric figure noted in Toro Park Geometry 2, which can be constructed inside the geometric figure defined in Toro Park Geometry 1. Here is the hard part, you must find that center-point (Point G). There is a stone monument at Point G with a small triangular white stone on top (or in the pile if cow'd). The cache container is not at the Point G. Now the challenge is to find the true Point G. Depending how you "find" Point G you could end up at a false Point G. There is a small stone monument (or pile) at this point also, but no white triangular stone.
A double offset was necessary since, during preparations for this series, the cache container was disturbed three times. It appears that cows (?) don’t respect cache containers while grazing. ; )
Did you take good notes while at Point B? There is a four-digit number at Point B. Take the third digit (hundreds place) and divide it by 1000 and add it to the Point G minutes (mm.mmm) of latitude. Take the sum of the other three digits and divide it by 1000 and add it to the Point G minutes (mm.mmm) of longitude. This will get you to the “X” offset (first offset). You’ll know you are there because it is “marked” with an “X.”
Since this location is also susceptible to cow traffic, the cache container is offset (second offset) from “X” by 30 feet at a bearing of about 40 degrees east of north.
CAUTION: Always be wary of snakes, spiders, or other things that might try to make a cache container its home. Also, in all season be very aware of the poison oak hazard.
