Hardware's First Cache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

hardware: done, surfer joe, is it possible to delete the three admin logs from 2006? i'd like to look back on logs from finds and not finds, not comments questioning the validity of the cache.

thanks.

Geocache Description:

This cache is along the Minnetonka Loop Trails Corridor System. This segment of the trail is near I-494. The coordinates lead you to a sign containing trail guidelines. These guidelines will help you locate the cache.

This trail closes daily at 10 p.m., although it doesn’t say when it is considered open. You will walk more than a half-mile from the starting point to the cache location, so expect to walk more than a mile round trip. You will not have to stray off the paved trail, except for a few feet near the cache. You will have to walk down a bit of a slope at the cache location. There is no nearby parking lot for this trail, so even if you find the starting point by car, you may have to drive a few blocks to find a place to park.

There is a garbage can near the starting point of this cache, so please pick up a little trash on your way back.

The cache coordinates:
N 44º 57.4 _ _
W 93º 27.63 _

To fill in the first north coordinate blank: There are nine bullet points on the sign. Counting from top to bottom, which bullet point is "Obey signs and basic rules of road?" Take that number, multiply it by two and then subtract eight. Take the solution and insert it.

To fill in the second north coordinate blank: Look at the seven-digit phone number on the bottom of the sign. Take the third digit from the phone number and subtract one. Take the solution and insert it.

To fill in the west coordinate blank: Count all the orange words on the sign. ('10:00 p.m.' counts as one word.) Take that number and subtract the length limit for dog leashes. Take the solution and insert it.

The container is a regular-size whipped topping container. That's not very big, so plan on trading something smaller than a tennis ball.

Please be sure to record your visit in the log book, which barely fits inside. There is a pencil included, but not a sharpener. Please let me know if the pencil needs sharpening.

*Make sure to check under the cache lid for a special note.* As always, make sure to replace the cache as you have found it.

THANKS FOR VISITING THIS CACHE – HAPPY HUNTING!
