Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.


This is one of 4 BONUS CACHES affiliated with my Mount Tamalpais puzzle series. To log this cache, you must find clues that I have placed in 8 of the 17 puzzle caches in the series. The clues you seek provide either the northerly or westerly coordinates for 1 of the 4 bonus caches. It’s your job to find the caches in the series with the clues and correctly match the clues to determine the correct final coordinate string for each bonus cache. Certitude has been provided to confirm the final locations.

The 17 puzzles and 4 bonus puzzle caches in the series make a compass rose for those geo-art collectors. For your convenience, all of the cache pages provide a public bookmark list for the series. The puzzles range in difficulty but maintain higher terrain ratings. (The difficulty and terrain ratings for the bonus puzzle caches reflect the highest ratings in the series.) All of the hides are ammo cans. If you like puzzles, ammo cans, and adventurous hiking, this series should be right up your alley! All caches are hidden off the beaten path, and I would suggest taking a friend along.

Good luck, have fun, stay safe, and please return the cache as found or better! Caution: A rattlesnake has been seen in the area about 50 feet from the cache.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
