Geocache Description:

Howdy Pardners. There's gold in them thar hills so hitch yer wagon at the above co-ordinates and start diggin'.

Follow the trail up the hill stopping along the way at the information points. You will need to get a clue from each location to find the cache. Each point is printed below with the title and there is a checksum at the end so you don't end up on a wild goose chase.

Take the last digit of the year. This is digit A.

Point 2 - Staking a Claim

What is the number on the Miner's Right?

Add all the digits of the number together to get a two digit number. Add these two digits together and subtract 1. This is digit B.

Point 3 - Golden Boulder North

What year was work on claims 119, 120 & 121 stopped?

Take the last two digits of the year and add them together. This is digit C.
