This is a 2 stage multi-cache. This is our first multi so we didn't make it too difficult. Finding the park may be the first challenge. You can get there from Logan Ferry Road, then to Forbes Trail Drive, then left onto Trouthaven drive. The park is located off of Trouthaven drive. The container for the first stage is a metal plaque. You may need to be a little stealthy when retrieving it since you are still visible to of some of the park. This will give you the information needed to locate the cache. You must decypher the coordinates based on the following code.

The numbers you get from the plaque are in the form

ABCDEFG
HIJKLMN

You must put them in the form

EC° DF.BGA
MN° JH.LKI
This will decode the clue into the coordinates for the cache container.

Why did we call it the Celebration cache? Well, we had been working on the Magellan Treasure Hunt for several weeks and on this day the coordinates were finally released and we were #1. This gave us a reason to celebrate.
