This multi-cache is a short, easily walked tour of the North Mountain Park nature area. All stages are connected via existing paths, so no need to bushwhack at any time. Parking available near the published coords.
You'll start off at the published coords in front of the Nature Center building in a small demonstration garden with several information signs. One of the signs describes the Harison Rose. According to the sign, what year did the rose arrive in Southern Oregon on a covered wagon? Let this year be WXYZ. Calculate the following values and proceed to stage 2 via the paths.
A = Z-Y; B = A-1; C = X-Y
D = Z+2; E = Y-W; F = Y-5
Stage 2 = N42 12.ABC W122 41.DEF
There are two signs at stage 2 discussing Traditional Tribal Homelands. In 1988, how large was the reservation restored at Grand Ronde (in acres)? Let this be STUV. Calculate the following values and proceed to the final cache location via the paths.
G = U+V; H = T-U; J = S-V
K = U-1; L = V+1; M = T-3
Final = N42 12.GHJ W122 42.KLM
The cache is a small waterproof match container hidden a few feet from a bench in a traditional manner. BYOP. Enjoy the walk!
