Geocache Description:


Kitty came up with the idea for this cache after class one day. Gramps researched the details. Granny, that's me, wrote it all up.

According to Wikipedia, the Nevada Wolf Pack are the athletic teams that represent the University of Nevada, Reno. UNR's athletic teams were originally known as the Sagebrushers, named after Nevada's state flower. In the 1921–1922 school year, a local writer described the school's athletic teams as a "pack of wolves" which turned into "Desert Wolves." That name stuck until 1923, when the student body designated "Wolves" as the school's mascot.

Finding this cache involves finding some wolves on campus. The first are located inside the Joe Crowley Student Union on the mural outside the theater. How many wolves are depicted? Don't count any coyote, and be sure to include the stone-faced. Let the total wolves at Stage 1 be A.

Stage 2 is located at N 39 32.7A1, W 119 49.0(A-2)9. Please note that the only calculations you need complete to determine the coordinates are within the parentheses. Do not multiply outside the parentheses.

The hours during which the Student Union is open are found here.

Next, sight and count the wolves visible at stage 2. Let that number be B. Do not count the one you will be standing on.

The third and final stage is located at N 39 32.8(3A-3)B-1, W 119 48.9(A+B-6)(A+B-1).

Many thanks to wizard of ahh's and Gumshoe613 who inadvertently became beta-testers for this cache.
