Geocache Description:

A multi-stage that will take some thinking. The listed co-ordinates are for a parking spot for Cinder Cones.

Triangulation, the method by which you locate yourself on a map. By locating 3 points and using your compass and map you know where you are. The twist on this is you will have the three points, and the bearing to the cache location. The three caches with the information are: Cinder Cones, Westside Urban (NOTE: this cache has been moved, update your co-ords), and Recycled. The bearing to the final location is on a sticker fastened to the inside of the cache lid. It says {Triangulation BBB} (BBB=bearing). Two of the caches also have the last 2 digits of the final location. (N.X99) would be a 99 at the end of the north co-ordinate. This should narrow down your search when you get close. All angles were measured back to the cache with my GPS, and assume 0 degrees as North, 90 as East, 180 as South, 270 as West. Also, the degrees are magnetic, not true!! Cache is in a Decon. Have fun!! Check Co-ords here
