Geocache Description:

  This easy multi-cache will take you for a walk around the south end of Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park (locally referred to simply as Coulon Park). The coordinates above are for the first waypoint; the beginning of your journey.


  On a recent walk in Coulon Park, I was taken aback by the staggering quantity of informational signs. There must be over 200 in the park; it seemed like every 50 feet I was reminded "dogs not allowed", "no diving", "slippery when wet", "no parking", "reservations required"... do this and don't do that.   Add to that number another hundred or more signs and plaques identifying the trees, shrubs and memorials, there were signs everywhere!

   Beginning at the listed coordinates, you will collect information from signs at each of the intermediate waypoints along your walk that will be used to determine the final location. Even on a busy summer day you probably won't have trouble with muggles at GZ during this easy multi. Afterwards you can enjoy a picnic lunch, a swim in the lake, or a walk to some of the other caches in the park.

  Visit the waypoints below to collect the data needed to determine the final waypoint.
  1. At the posted coordinates:
    What is the ordinance number given in the bottom sign? _____(A,B,C,D)
  2. N 47° 30.251' W 122° 12.074'
    How many arrows are on the sign ? ____(E)
  3. N 47° 30.244' W 122° 12.093'
    How many lines of red text are on the bottom sign? _____(F)
  4. N 47° 30.279' W 122° 12.155'
    How many Beach Rules are listed on the sign? ____(G)
  5. N 47° 30.259' W 122° 12.299'
    How many black words are on the sign? _____(H)

(checksum:A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H=39)

To determine the final cache coordinates:

X = (G*H)+A __________________
Y = (G*H*(E+F))+D+A __________________

The cache is located at:

Add .0X to the listed latitude __________________
Add .Y to the listed longitude __________________

Congratulations to 2nd1of3 and CM&K Cachers for the co-FTF.
