Geocache Description:

The Quick Details
This multi-cache is located on Tumalo Mountain, just North of Mt. Bachelor.  The views are great, the terrain can be steep for some, but is very much worth it.  On the cache hunt you will also find a USGS benchmark.


Oregon Alpine Library
The highest smallest darn library in the whole state!  There are no cards, no late fees, all that I ask is that you leave a book if you take a book!  The Library started out with the following goods:

The Horse and His Boy CS Lewis
Comstock Load Louis L'Amour
Mountaineering First Aid The Mountaineers

and the log book, please don't remove it!
Curious George Goes Camping Margaret and H.A. Rey

The Cache Hunt
Park at the Tumalo Mountain lot, just outside of Dutchman flat.  You will need your 'no trail fees' sticker to park here ;0)

The first clue is located at the following coordinates:
N 44 00.322
W 121 38.558
At this location you are looking for a USGS marker.  There will be a date on the marker that you will need to find clue #2
Take the date on the marker 19-X-Y and plug it into the following equation to get the 2nd clue coordinates:
UPDATE: The USGS marker has apparently been uprooted, if one is resourceful, they can find the date of the marker using the geo.com database ;)

2nd Clue:
N 44 00.31Y
W 121 38.X74

The second clue will give you directions to the cache, but be sure to take in the views before you leave!

FYI- We put this cache in after watching the sunset, so the coords might be a bit off, but you should be fine ;0)
