NIGHT PASSAGE GEOCACHE Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Skookum Bear: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if it was missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within a reasonable amount of time, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities. If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current Geocaching guidelines.

Please do not respond to this note by sending an email reply - your response will go to an unmonitored location and disappear into the ether instead of being sent to me. If you need to contact me regarding this cache, please do so using the link on my Profile Page

Thank you for your contribution to geocaching.

Geocache Description:


Oh the essense of geocaching, to learn how to use your GPS to find a location somewhere on the planet.

Please ignore the cords that have been posted for this cache as they are not the final location for the cache. The challenge for this cache is to find out where it is actually located and then find it. The cache isn't on a main road nor a trail.

************************************************
The original description
*******************

YOU'LL FIND A SIGN THAT READS "PAPRICAN". YOU MAY WANT TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS (DON'T ASK US!). ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE 'PAPRICAN' SIGN, YOU'LL FIND A LARGE CONCRETE PIPE. ON TOP OF IT, LOOK FOR A RED TAG. WHAT IS THE TAG NUMBER?

PROCEED 53932.6112 METERS ON A COMPASS COURSE OF 79 DEGREES, 26 MINUTES, 51.0395 SECONDS - PLUS ADD TO THE NUMBER OF DEGREES THE NUMBER ON THE TAG. I.E. ADD THE TAG NUMBER TO 79 DEGREES. YOU'LL NOW HAVE A NEW DEGREE NUMBER, PLUS 26 MINUTES, 51.0395 SECONDS.

NOW GET ROLLING!! YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF AT THE TOP OF A TALL MAN MADE WOODEN OBJECT WHEN YOU WORK ALL THIS OUT. FROM THIS OBJECT GO APPROXIMATELY TEN AND A HALF METERS NORTH WEST.

YOU'LL FIND THE ACTUAL CACHE UNDER ROCKS.

ENJOY THE VIEW(PRESUMING IT'S NOT RAINING)!
