Witch Hunt Multi-Cache
Butch Cachedy: Apparently there are some ne'r-do-wells setting up camp at the castle. Yikes! The cache has been removed for the time being but will return with a vengence ...

This a multi-waypoint cache which will have you hiking about 1.5 miles roundtrip up a sometimes paved, sometimes rocky, sometimes flat, sometimes steep trail.
From the above coordinates you will find the answer to the following question:
In what year was Danford Balch hanged?
_ _ _ _ = A B C D
Plug that into the following equation to find your second waypoint:
Lat 45. 29. 838
+00. 0A. BCD =
Long 122. 41. 656
+000. 0A. BCD =
Following your new coordinates, you'll find yourself at a landmark where two trails meet. Search the structure for a hidden Altoid tin containing your final coordinates.
You're not out of the woods yet! The final cache spot can be hard to nail down, too! Just use your noggin:
You don't have to cross the creek to get to it!
Your GPS may say it's 80' off the trail -- it's not! It's more like 15' off the main trail BUT there's no bushwhacking needed.
Sound confusing? Hopefully, it won't be. Happy Hunting!
