Westside Hideaway Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Norkota: Sadly, I'm archiving this cache. It appears that the container has disappeared and I'm not able to get out and check on things as promptly as I would like. Who knows, maybe there will be a Westside Hideaway 2.0. :-)

Geocache Description:

The first two locations are easy, taking you through parts of Mandan. At each place you will gather information for the location of the actual cache. The cache is a couple of miles from the other locations and will provide an opportunity for a pleasant hike or a mountain bike ride. You might want to bring a lunch or snack to enjoy at the scenic final location.

Location #1
Please use the coordinates listed above.

With your back to the ribbons of steel, you are facing a building that is now being used for something other than what it was originally built for. Carefully look in front of you to find something round that contains a lot of useful information. Make a note of the monetary figure, this will be "A." Make a note of the year, this will be "B."

Location #2
N46°49.0130'
W100°52.7510'

At this location are two signs. Have a good look at both of these as they are packed with a lot of interesting facts. In particular there is a lot of information about a famous man. Make a note a note of what band he belonged to and the name of the place he was born near. Is this name fitting or what?!! Count the number of letters in his band, this is "C." The number of letters for the place name is "D."

Location #3
The final coordinates for the cache can be determined as follows (UPDATED 12/23/11):

N46°(D+39).(B+2789)
W100°(A-200).(C*652.5)

Enjoy the area at the final location!! Please bring your own writing stick, I'll get one in there eventually.
