Geocache Description:


Welcome to Malibu Creek State Park, where there is an entrance fee.  Hourly rates are available if you think you'll be quick. 

Here is another quick 2 stage (Q2S) Multi.  At the posted coordinates you'll be at the start of the Tapia Spur trail which takes the Backbone Trail down into Tapia Park.  On the right hand side of the trail you will see a sign post with three signs.  The information you'll need is on the top sign, in the lower left hand corner in small print,  It is a seven letter word followed by a "®" symbol. 

For the calculations, a letter's value is it's position in the alphabet (i.e., A = 1, F = 6, M = 13, etc.) Let b = the value of the 5th letter of the word, and m = the value of the 3rd letter of the word.

Using the initial cordinates, subtract b/1000 from the Latitude, and add (m-b)/1000 to the Longitude to get the final coordinates (which are within100 feet).  Cache is a camo'd pill bottle.

FYI- RoaF means Rocks are our Friends .
