Geocache Description:


Going to the posted coordinates will not help in finding the cache

Using the reference photo in the image gallery - multiply the number of bison in a group by 186 AND THEN SUTRACT 2 to get the decimal value for north coordinates. For the decimal value for the west coordinates add 584 to the total number of bison.

Hanging just off a trail - leading to (or from) dirt Mulholland with possible views both north and south while hiking to the cache.

Some bushwhacking will be required to log the cache. You will need to "thread" your way to the cache - so I've posted a waypoint on where to start (or at least where I started to place the cache).

Decided to add more information.  From the waypoint (thread start) on where to start - within about 50 feet or so it is necessary to turn right and then turn left.  This keeps you on the "island" between the two gullies.

Actual cache is a contrasting color but may still be that difficult to spot once at GZ.

And the brush has grown in some - so it is a bit more difficult to spot once you arrive at ground zero.

Solve using the reference image.  Replace, with your solution, the decimal (last 3 digits) of both north and south coordinates.

You are looking for two different numbers - one for north - one for west.  Again do not add - do not subtract - replace.

As always - when moving through brush - be on the lookout for snakes, ticks, etc.

Congratulations to w01f and TropicalJoe for co first-to-find.
