As cachers, we should all probably know the laws of the land as we go hunting and exploring, so I figured, why not give us all the chance to brush up on our local municipal code?
At the posted coordinates, there is a trailhead sign with a map of the nearby trails. To the right of the map, there's a bullet point list of things prohibited on trails in Chino Hills. For clarity, when I mention a rule number, that's counting starting down the left column, then the right, so rules #1-9 on the left, then #10-18 on the right. Hyphenated words are counted as a single word.
I've seen (via a log on a nearby cache, gotta thank Wraavr for that) that the trailhead with the rules sign may have been vandalized! Until it goes back up, here's the sign:
North:
- Rule #8, number of characters in the 3rd word
- #11, word 4
- #6, word 3
- #3, word 1
- #15, word 2
- #4, word 3
- #5, word 2
West:
- #12, word 6
- #7, word 1
- #4, word 2
- #17, word 5
- #11, word 2
- #8, word 1
- #7, word 5
Watch for work trucks and local traffic on the road; some ranches do have an easement to drive on this private road and they can come around the curves pretty fast. The park is former ranchland, so beware of barbed wire in outlying areas.
Congrats to Webfoot for the FTF!
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
In case Certitude is down, here's a checksum: if you add all the digits in the final coordinates together (117 -> 1+1+7=9), they should sum up to 70.
