Geocache Description:


Congrats to jim_carson on the FTF!

============================================

As you've probably guessed, the cache is not at the posted location. It is on this trail, though, so you don't have to go anywhere crazy unlike some Mystery caches.


"Dogs must be on leashes at all times." There are KC Codes attached to this rule, in XX.XX.XXX format. 

You can find codes these either online through some really deep searching or by finding one of the signs on the Yellow Lake trail that read this, which is probably the easier option. You won't have to walk too far on the trail to find one of the signs.

Remove the last three numbers on a KC Code after the second decimal point. Dosen't matter which code because they are all the same after removing these digits. Then plug that number into the equation below to get the coordinates for the cache.

LATITUDE: 36.491368 + KC Code (removing the last 3 digits)
LONGITUDE: -122.015019


The container is a neon orange pill bottle with a white cap. Bring your own pen. You have to walk a couple of steps on a faint trail to reach it but there shouldn't be a need to bushwhack. Completing the puzzle and finding the cache should only take a maximum of 30 or 45 minutes if you walk the entire loop, though you shouldn't have to. (Pro tip: bike instead of walk. It's fun on this trail and it's a lot faster.)

Good luck, and remember, Dogs Must Be Leashed!

I've attatched a solution checker just in case but you probably won't need it.
