Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! Solve the puzzle to find the real coordinates!


It's the Holiday season! I work at a Christmas tree lot during the holidays (No, really!), and I had to work a shift to unload trees. There were many sizes of trees, from big ones, to small ones, to REALLY big ones (I had to deliver a 13 foot tree. No, really really!). I noticed that we got the trees from Signal's Ranch, the #1 brand for Christmas Trees. This year we got a big shipment of Nano Fir trees. Kinda like a Noble Fir, but they grow nano containers. I was able to collect some tags from the trees and make a puzzle out of it. We didn't need them, since we tag our own trees. 

Solve for N 37 42.XXX W 122 03.XXX
 


------
I really do work at a Christmas Tree lot (I can't say which one for obvious reasons), and I really did unload trees. It was quite the workout! I got inspiration from that shift to make a puzzle. If you need help, message me!

Disclamer: Even though I do not mention the name of the lot I work at, I am NOT asking you to buy a tree from them, nor am I promoting them. You also do not need to buy anything from anywhere to solve this puzzle. Tweasers would be helpful for extracting the log :)

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
