Geocache Description:


Welcome to Natural Park in Folsom!

And enjoy this naturally themed hide!

 

To locate the Final stage of the cache, you will first need to observe a sign while standing at the given coordinates. On the sign, there is a set of three numbers, which are separated by periods (and are also located immediately after F.M.C.). The first is a single digit number, the second, a two-digit number, and the third is a three-digit number. You will only use the second and the third numbers for your North and West offset calculations.

WEST OFFSET: 

Divide the Third Number by 4

This is your West Offset.

Or to put it another way:

Third Number / 4 = West Offset

WEST FINAL: ADD the West Offset to the decimal minutes (.xxx) of the West Given coordinates to obtain your West Final Coordinates.

 

NORTH OFFSET:

Divide the Second Number by 2 and then add the number you derived for the West Offset.

This is your North Offset.

Or to put it another way:

(Second Number / 2) + West Offset = North Offset

NORTH FINALADD the North Offset to the decimal minutes (.yyy) of the North Given coordinates to obtain your North Final Coordinates.

 

Checksum for the newly calculated Decimal Minutes (.xxx) and (.yyy) = 29.

Or to put it another way: 
West Decimal Minutes (.xxx), added one digit at a time + North Decimal Minutes (.yyy),added one digit at a time = Checksum (29)

Or to put it another way: 

x+x+x+y+y+y = Checksum (29)

 

Note: Tweezers or similar TOTT are recommended for log extraction
