Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Elk River Gauntlet Series! Please see extended description! BYOP.

"Running the Gauntlet," a form of physical punishment.

***This multi will require water transportation to solve. You should not try to wade/swim to this, or cross ice. Stage two is NOT accessible from the highway or on top of the bridge!*** This series will test your ruggedness, stamina, and resolve. It will require many TOTTs and could take seven to ten hours to complete, so plan accordingly.

The river has many shallow spots, big rocks, and plenty of rapids. Powered boats will not work in most parts of the river here, you will need kayaks or some sort of non-powered boat. Winter ice conditions are unknown, but not recommended.

These caches are ALL in potentially dangerous locations and seeking them is done at your own risk! Legal entry points are listed as waypoints and the ratings reflect the need to travel a significant distance on water. Other entry points will likely be trespassing on private property. We strongly recommend bringing friends for these.

The posted coordinates will bring you to a group of signs near the boat launch where you will start your adventure.

First, find the 3 digit number on the lower right hand sign. Let this number = CCC and use in the formula below.

Proceed to: N 45 18.AAA W 093 35.BBB

AAA=462+CCC

BBB=679+CCC


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


You will need to find a 3 digit number to use in the formula below. Let this number = ZZZ

Final coordinates are: N 45 18.XXX W 093 36.YYY

XXX=753-ZZZ

YYY=1051-ZZZ


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
