The body of Chief Umtuch was found laying in a field near by. He was killed by a single gunshot but no one knows exactly how or why and his death was ruled an accident. Some people think that he was murdered by a local ruffian named Jason Rutledge. The slug taken out of the Chief's body did match the caliber of Jason's pistol but Jason's girlfriend, Amanda Wheeler, provided an alibi for him the night Umtuch was killed. Umtuch was buried at "Alderbrook" near Hockinson but a grove of oaks was planted where his body was found. The cache is hidden near one of these mighty oaks. Calculate the cords below, find the cache and see where Umtuch was slain.
The site used to be marked with a hugh letter K, thus the name, but the K did not survive the recent remodeling of the park. The sound of the letter K was the local indian's word for serenity.
Be careful because you will find Umteen Muggles playing near Umtuch Oak and we don't want them to discover the cache.
