Geocache Description:

I will be retiring this cache by the end of December 2006. So, if you want to find this one get out there soon!

Welcome to my first Mystery cache! There are several cache stages that will lead you to the final Ammo Can cache. Just how many you will have to find depends upon Lady Luck!

The above coordinates will lead you to the cache starting point(Stage #1) where you will find:
1) A die to determine your next set of coordinates.
2) The value of the 'k' constant to be added to the randomly selected Stage 2 Coordinates(A,B,C) on your chosen Coordinate Card.

Cache Instructions

1)Choose and print one of the three Coordinate Cards below to take with you to Stage #1. This is your Stage #2 game card.
2)Find the Stage #1 cache.
3)Roll the die found in the cache one time.
4)Depending upon your roll, your next Stage coordinates will either be A, B or C as indicated on your card.
5)Add the 'k' constant found in the Stage #1 cache, to the coresponding A,B, or C coordinates on your game card. Hint: Just add the 'k' constant to the last 5 digits of your coordinates. (Yes, add the constant to the North and West coordinates)
6)Have FUN finding all your caches!
NOTE: After finding your Stage #2 cache, the Coordinate Card is no longer needed.

An Example

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, DO NOT USE THE BELOW 'k' CONSTANT VALUES TO ATTEMPT TO FIND THE SECOND STAGE CACHE!

After choosing a Coordinate Card #1, you head out and find the Stage #1 cache. In the cache you find a die and the 'k' constant value card with the following information:

Stage 2 Coordinates Column (A) 'k' constant = 133
Stage 2 Coordinates Column (B) 'k' constant = -133
Stage 2 Coordinates Column (C) 'k' constant = 33

You roll the die once.

If you rolled a 2 on the die, then you add 133 to the 'Stage 2 Coordinates Column(A)' to determine your correct Stage #2 cache and disregard Column B and C.

N 42° 28.620 + 133 = N 42° 28.753
W 083° 28.201 + 133 = W 083° 28.334

If you rolled a 3 on the die, then you add -133 to the 'Stage 2 Coordinates Column(B)' to determine your correct Stage #2 cache and disregard Column A and C.

N 42° 32.552 + (-133) = N 42° 32.419
W 083° 31.719 + (-133) = W 083° 31.586

If you rolled a 6 on the die, then you add 33 to the 'Stage 2 Coordinates Column(C)' to determine your correct Stage #2 cache and disregard Column A and B.

N 42° 25.396 + 33 =N 42° 25.429
W 083° 24.254 + 33 = W 083° 24.287

Helpful Things

1)Some paper for notes
2)A pen or pencil
3)A calculator
4)Trail map - Novi's Lakeshore Park Trail Map
5)I would recommend parking at 42°30.646N 083°29.165W.

Please place all caches back in there orginal hidding spots to keep them well hidden. THANKS!

Due to the nature of this cache I do not plan on posting any hints at this time. Please email me if you need help. I will need to know which Coordinate Card you used as well as the value of your Stage #1 die roll.
