Should take about 1.5 hours to solve after getting to the first way point. Cache is suitable for those of all ages. Teetotalers and Nader voters proceed at your own risk!

The clue is inside the building - but is visible from outside through the window. You are looking for a four digit number indicating a weight. You’ll be –hoppy- when you’ve found it. Use the second digit from this number to fill in the blank for Waypoint 2.
While entirely optional - I would encourage you to (responsibly) enjoy a quality beverage at this fine establishment.
Waypoint 2 - Capitalism
N 47 39._81 W 122 22.134
Welcome to one of the greatest achievements of western culture. Time to go shopping (ok – you don’t really have to buy anything).
Remember what you used to write all over the walls with when you were a kid? Not a pen… not paint… not pencils… you know what I’m talking about – right? Those things made out of wax and paper?
Now – go find a pack of them. Specifically a pack made by the #1 manufacturer of this product. Doesn’t matter how many are in the pack. You are looking for the universal product code (that number under the barcode).
Use the fourth digit of the UPC to fill in all the blanks for Waypoint 3.
Waypoint 3 - A Walk in the Park

Finally – on to the cache.
There's a few different ways to get at this one. I advise against the trail that's closest to the railroad tracks.
The cache is underneath some ferns at the base of a 10ft tall, skinny, leaning, pointy stump. Looks almost like a sharpened stick that's been stuck in the ground (see photo).
Follow the main trail until your GPS shows the cache as being roughly 70ft to the west. This should put you in a semi-open area with some informal trails heading downhill to the west. Hop off the main trail, and take the small trails 70ft west of the main trail. The stump should then be roughly 25ft to your north.
GPS reception can sometimes be a bit spotty around here - might pay to at least look at the photo.
Good luck!
