A fairly easy puzzle, hidden in a lovely lowland forest. The cache is not located at the posted coordinates, follow the instructions below to locate this cache.
1/2-cup (0.1 Liter) Lock+Lock.
This cache is located in a working state forest. You may need to dodge logging trucks and loggers, probably the most dangerous critters out here. Oh, and you might get lucky and see some wildlife, from blacktail deer to bears, bobcats, and cougars. I saw 3 deer, a juvenile bald eagle, a horned owl, just on this one hike to place these caches. Bring your camera.
To find this cache, you need to learn a bit about the game of cribbage. Cribbage is a card game traditionally for two players, but can also be played with three or four, that involves playing and grouping cards in combinations which gain points. Cribbage has two separate scoring stages (the play and the show) and a unique scoring system including points for groups of cards that total fifteen.
First, determine a score which cannot be achieved in the "show" of a cribbage hand, and which some players use in a joking manner to indicate that their hand scores a zero - this is a 2-digit number WX.
Now find a score, again for the "show" of a hand, which represents the highest possible point value achievable in a single show; this is also a 2-digit number YZ.
The final coordinates are found by substituting the numbers you found into the following coordinate equations:
N47 45.(YZ)0
W121 49.7(22 - WX)
Don't drop any leading zeros.
