This is a offset cache that has multiple locations inside the boundaries of Buhl Park. Solve the puzzles one at a time in order to get the next set of coordinates.
CONSTRUCTION - CONSTRUCTION - CONSTRUCTION : The park is rebuilding the bridge(first location) and while its under construction, you cannot gather the needed information to complete this cache.....have to wait until the bridge is done.

At this first location, count the concrete supports which form the concrete railing on the north and south sides of bridge. The railing is the area between the larger pillars at each end, but do not include these 2 pillars or the light posts that are on top of them in your final count.
Use this formula to find the New Latitude of your next waypoint:
(your current latitude)<------------------> N 041º14.863'
(add this random number to it)<----------> N 000º00.010'
(add # of posts on North side of bridge)<--> N 000º00.0__'
NEW LATITUDE WAYPOINT<---------------> N 041º__.___'
Use this formula to find the New Longitude of your next waypoint:
(your current longitude)<-----------------> W 080º29.017'
(subtract this random number)<-----------> W 000º00.548'
(subtract # of posts on the South side) <--> W 000º00.0__'
NEW LONGITUDE WAYPOINT<--------------> W 080º__.___'
Go to the next waypoint! Depending on your time and length of walk, you might want to visit the other 2 caches on your walk, and there is a nice Benchmark in the park too.
Once you’ve arrived at this new location, you're ready to solve the final puzzle. Locate the stamped metal manufacturer’s placard on the structure. Use the 10 digit “patent number” to calculate the latitude and longitude of your final cache location.

Go To www.buhlfarmpark.com to get more information about the park. Park Rangers will ticket you if you do not park in the lots provided. There are “No Parking” posts along the perimeter of the park and you should obey them. The park itself is open year round from 8AM to 9PM seven days a week. The perimeter road of the park offers a 2½ mile walk, run, or bike. However in the winter months, some of the roads are closed off to vehicle traffic, but they are still open to the walkers, runners, and cyclists if you dare! There is a nice sled riding hill which is located in this closed off section but a parking lot nearby makes a short walk. There are many inside roads within this perimeter that will take you to the many other parts of the park that you can enjoy. The park was donated to the valley by the Buhl Family and it’s trust fund keeps the park open and beautiful. I think this is the only place in the country where you can play 9 holes of golf FREE. There is a driving range on the site which you have to pay for, but the actual course of 9 holes is kept running by the trust fund. Walk-Ons are welcome and there are no carts so be prepared to walk the course. The swimming pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day and costs a few dollars. The tennis courts are open to walk-ons, and there are several playground areas that offer swings and slides for the kids. The large pond offers home to small fish and lots of wildlife. Check all these activities and fun spots out while you’re in the park. There is something here to do year round!
