Rocks! Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

zemi: Unfortunately, it is gone. There have been several comments about how the rocks have been disturbed by overzealous cachers which is apparent at the site so I decided to archive this cache and let the area heal. Thanks to everyone who did find it!

Geocache Description:


In the 1800's, pioneer missionaries preached to native indians and settlers using this natural pulpit. It continues to be used annually for Easter sunrise service.

The above coordinates take you to the first stop on your tour of rocks. For your next waypoint you will need to find the following information:

How many reverends founded this mission? Add 33 to this number = (aa)

In what year was the Methodist Indian Mission founded? Subtract 1445 from this year = (bbb)

Head to this waypoint: N 45 aa.bbb W 121 11.252

Two Nez Perce chiefs traveling with the Corps of Discovery warned captains Lewis and Clark that the Wishram-Wasco indians of this area planned to attack. The captains claimed a high point of rocks for their campsite and posted a guard each night while pausing here to dry out their soaked cargo.

How many yards wide was the creek? Add this number to 384 = (ccc)

On what day was the Methodist Indian Mission founded? Subtract this number from 274 = (ddd)

The cache is hidden at N 45 36.ccc W 121 11.ddd

To log this cache, send an email with the number found on the inside of the cache. This number is on the inside of the cap, as well as on the backside of the geocaching statement.

Here's an extra hint: Pay attention at the first waypoint, it will save you time later.
