Carmel Hills Long Distance Runaround Multi-Cache

Here is a multi that is spread out and will require you to drive about 4 miles to complete. The stages and cache are on dirt/gravel side roads off of highway 89.  The roads are in good shape and negotiable by any type vehicle but the final cache location may be difficult to reach in wet weather.  The multi progresses as if you are traveling northbound on 89.  If you are traveling southbound, you will do a little backtracking to go from stage 1 to GZ.

Listed coordinates take you to a location where you'll find a small container that will give you the coordinates and clue to station #2 where you will find a small container that will give coordinates and clue to station #3 where you'll find a small container with coordinates and clue to station #4 another small container with coordinates and clue to station #5 - the final reward, a nice sized container with a log, pencil and several trade items. So in all, there are 5 stages; the first four giving clues and coordinates to the next with the last one being GZ.

The first 4 stages are all easy to reach but it’s a bit of a hike to reach GZ. This whole runaround will be worth it though when you reach the final cache location as you will be treated to wonderful views of the surrounding landscape.
