- Park, walk through the gate
- Use a GPS, compass, etc. to walk to the posted coordinates
- Count the bumps on the metal item (hint-correct number ends in 1)
- Multiply the number of bumps by 11 to determine the number of feet to ground zero (final stage)
- Point your GPS, compass, etc. to 258 degrees
- Walk in that direction the number of feet you computed
- Look for the container, sign the log
- Do a Happy Dance
Numerous geocachers have reported that their projections range from 12 to 70 ft from ground zero. This is an unusual situation possibly due to low Wi-Fi or the proximity to electrical wires. Therefore, I suggest you use the number of feet that you computed, follow you projection along the path, look for a large tree with a crook at eye level. If you reach the fence, you are approximately 35 ft past the gz.
