Geocache Description:

Puzzle cache is not at the above coordinates.
You must do the other four "A Nights Hike" caches nearby
to solve the beginning cordinates for the puzzle cache which has several more reflectors before the final location. You are looking for a ammo container about 15-20 feet from the last green/yellow reflector.

I have given this a higher difficulty rating as some markers are only single fire tacks and or reflectors. Please bring a very strong flashlight. I used a mag lite and had no problems going back and finding the entire series in about 1.5 to 2 hours. How fast can you solve and find this puzzle cache? There are many obstacles in your way. Junipers, sage, bob-wire fence-(actually you do not have to go over any fences) but you will be close to them in this series. Good luck-

To solve the beginning coordinates you must first write down the numbers taped onto the inside of each four "A Nights Hike" caches.

Using this formula you must solve the digits:

N 44 AB.CDE W FGH IJ.KLM

A= second digit of #2 minus first digit of #2

B= second digit of #2

C= second digit of #4 plus the second digit of #2

D= second digit of #4

E= second digit of #4 added to second digit #3 then subtract the first digit #3

F= second digit of #1 minus first digit of #1

G= first digit of #1 plus three minus second digit of #1

H= first digit of #1 plus two minus second digit of #1

I= first digit of #3 plus three, minus second digit of #3

J= first digit of #3

K= first digit of #4

L= third digit of #4 minus second digit of #4

M= third digit of #4 minus the sum of the first two digits in #4

CONGRATULATIONS TO Tbird2LM for FTF. Like the description states-this is a harder one than the previous caches.
Happy Caching....
