This is a simple one-two multi-cache, and the final location is a short hike from the first location. Actually, we placed it intending for it to be a traditional, but then noticed all those numbers at the trailhead, so why not make use of them.
Find signs at the specified coordinates. No, not the one on the gate, and no, not the cougar warning; other signs.
- A "CLOSED" sign has a municipal code number: AB-CD-EFG
- That same sign has a phone number: HJK-LMNP
- Another sign has three mileages, in order: Q.R, S.T, and U.V
- Add 1 to E, add 1 to F, add 1 to J
- Final coords are: N 37 HC.EJK W 122 AT.VFR
- Checksum for all fifteen final coords digits is 62
Misc warnings:
Poison oak - It's around, for sure, but avoidable (via the route we took anyway).
Ticks - I've visited the site four times now without seeing a tick; however, there are tall grasses, so if ticks are in season (typically Springtime), you'll definitely want to check for them.
Small kids - See terrain rating; this cache is not for small kids (it was placed by a 7-year-old, but you know, he's a wildman).
We didn't do anything that we thought was unsafe, and you shouldn't either. EDIT in mid-2017: The tree branch where this used to be hidden went and broke right off, so be advised that this tree is NOT safe to do any kind of serious climbing on, and serious climbing is not needed to get to the cache container.
Congratulations to gooseville for the FTF!!
