If you look over the top of this plaque you will see the gold dredge about 1/4 mile out. This is a very interesting place. There is now a No Trespassing sign on the dirt road. To bad, I have taken friends out there in the past. I still might sneak out there to look around. But nows the time to start reading and get some more numbers.

the dredge started operation ? ( )
2. Then subtract the 1st number in that year
from the last ? ( )
3. Now for minutes use the cost of
constuction 1st number to the left of the comma
and the 2nd or 3rd in the year of dedication ? ( )
4. Then take the last 2 numbers in the year
it started operation and write them down backwards
and add a "0" for the 3rd number?. ( )

Virtual #4
The end is near.The white rock you passed about 1/4 mile back on the right side is called the Mother Lode. This is one of the few areas in Cal. that the rock is above ground. For more information go into the History Center. You dont need to read this plaque, just look up the gravel road for the Blanchard Station Post Office Building. It is very old and has been closed as a post office for many years. The only coordinates you will need are in the hint.
When hidden this cache contained:
1. Logbook,pencil and geonote in a plastic bag.
2. Two gold Nuggets (maybe)
3. One gold dollar
4. 24K $3.00 Lottery ticket.
5. Small vile of Gold Flakes.
6. One gold candle holder (might be brass)
7. Hand full of Gold marbles (take all you want)
If you take anything please replace with something gold Thanks and GOOD LUCK.
I PLACED MY GPS ON EACH OF THESE LOCATIONS FOR AT LEAST
5 MIN. TO GET THE BEST READING.
