Sting Thing Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

312Dragonfly: I had adopted all of Chirpz caches and this one is simply too far away for me to maintain. Since there are so many DNF's, I have no reason to believe this is here anymore. I am sorry to let this one go, but I will place a new one where I can properly maintain it.

Geocache Description:

Near Central Amboy

Go to the coordinates above and gather all of the following information from the surrounding area.

A. Number of Legs on the Tiki Head Thingy ________. (In the field to the West)
B. The Month of the Territorial Days _____________.
C. Diameter of the donkey's piston __________.
D. Number associated with the crank wheel _____________.
E. Church Circa _____________.
F. How many hornets are on the nest that is inside
of the north end of the rusty boiler tank. ________.

You can stick your head inside of the end of the tank and look at the nest like I did (not recommended), or you can beat on the side of the tank and count them as they swarm out (maybe not). Oh, just peer in and do the best you can. Be careful! They Sting! Please don't harm them, they are beneficial insects, and we need them for this cache.

Now to get the final coordinates, do the follow calculations using the data you have collected.

Let X = (D+F-B)xC+368-(CxF)

Let Y = (D+F-A)xB+C-17-(BxF)

Now plug X and Y into these coordinates and go find the cache.

N45.54.X__
W122.27.Y__
Its easy.

OK OK.... Actually, I made an agreement with the Queen of the Hornets. She agreed to manage the nest and keep the hornet count constant to prevent throwing the coordinates off. She also promised to command her troops to NOT sting anyone holding a GPS. In return, cachers must agree not to swat or spray any hornets and not reveal their presence to the caretakers.
