Trestles
Location: On the outskirts of Chaska, MN
Enjoy a nice "stroll" through the park. You should not expect to see any trains, however you will most likely see an old train trestle. To get you to see this trestle I needed to set up this two stage multi. Before the 2024-spring flood on the Minnesota River, this trestle was mostly intact, during the flood it was completely underwater and that river took a toll. As you look around you may be amazed at how strong that river was.
At the posted coordinates you should be at a cross roads of trails, with benches and a kiosk. You will need to explore some of the information on signs on the kiosk, so look around.
Answer the following questions:
Signs on the Kiosk
- A = # of miles a mountain biker can explore plus (+) 7
- B = # of types of camping available
- C = # of miles of ungroomed ski trails minus (-) 5
Now for some quick and hopefully simple math.
N44 47 . 1 A
W93 35 . 4 B C
Check Sum for stage one = 51
That is it, now head to Stage TWO.
At Stage TWO you will be looking for a very tall beacon, once there
You are looking for TWO sets of numbers. They are both PRIME, on opposite sides of the beacon and at different elevations.
Answer the following questions:
- X = black number on yellow background minus (-) 5
- Y = black number on white background plus (+) 43
After some quick and hopefully simple math, head to the final.
Check Sum for stage two = 128
That is all there is to it. You are seeking a Small, "GOLDEN" container.
N44 47 . 0 X
W93 35 . 4 Y
