Geocache Description:

Part one of three on a hike to Poo Poo Point near Issaquah. If all goes well you should make it to Poo Poo Point and back while recording three "finds" to add to your list of caches found.

To complete the Hat Trick you should allow 4 to 5 hours. The Hat Trick consists of 3 caches, this one, GCJBVJ and GCJCAA . The first two caches lead you from the High School Trail head up toward Poo Poo Point, a launch site for local paragliders. Parking and the trailhead are across the street from the posted coordinates for WP1. The third cache was created to give the committed geocacher/hiker something to do on the trip back down. The series of caches will lead you over a couple creeks and through some wonderful wildflowers and forest. Before you get started on this cache you'll need to read the information at the posted coordinates and then calculate the location of the cache.
A = Length of log flume - 2

BC = The number of sawmill locations represented on the map by circular sawblade icons.

Range of mills that operated within 1/2 mile of the site where you stand = DE to FG.

Final : N47 31.A[BC + 10] W122 00.[FG - 5]C[DE - 3]
No multiplication is necessary to compute the final. Simply solve for what is in each set of brackets [].
The reception at the cache is fairly weak. The hints should save the day if you cannot find it.
