Geocache Description:


Another in the series.  A fairly easy 2 stage puzzle cache I think


    With Thanks to "Fluffy Pillow" for the .gif

 

1. Location one: The given North is true. N44 52.297, W-- --.---?

There is nothing at location one; you do not need to go there.


2.  If you are at GZ, then location 1 will be 2003.11M away on a bearing of 76.7 Degrees True.

The cache is within 1.5km of the published Coordinates.

I have released two other puzzles that are almost identical to this one.  I know that the 100% accurate solution can be found using at least 1 method and another 3 methods will get you to within spitting distance.  The solutions have been confirmed to within a few feet of the actual cords.  Your solution may not be "exact" so I will tell you that the cache is within a couple of M of a road and the container is between a boulder and a rock. Your geosense should guide you if you are within a few Meters.

I will not be setting up a geochecher for this one at this time, however, if you want to check your answers I will give you the following...
