Geocache Description:


Nothing is hidden at the posted coordinates, but you have to go there to solve this puzzle.
On the way from the parking area to the posted coordinates you will come past a pond.
The pond has a little peninsula with a fishing deck. Go to the NW corner of the deck and mark the waypoint in your GPS, I call it Pt’A’.

Now go to the posted coordinates. Looking to the West you will see the largest tree in Genesee County.
Admire that beautiful tree and then step up to the East side of the enormous trunk. Mark this point in your GPS, this is Pt’B’.

Now measure the distance Pt’A’ to Pt’B’ in Yards. I call the distance ‘C’ yards.

To find the cache you will have to project a waypoint from Pt’B’ with a bearing of 266 degrees and a distance of ‘C’ yards.
The cache is at this waypoint.

You will have to bushwhack thru an area with a lot of standing water.

Come prepared you may need boots, bug repellant and the Manual for your GPS.

In case of DNF e-mail the distance Pt’A’ to Pt’B’ and the your final coordinates to me.
