Number 3 in a trio of Helena caches by Paddock2.
This is a multi-cache; the coordinates given above are not the actual site of the cache - just the first of three clues you will need. For summer, all you need is a car, for winter a 4 WD and possibly a little digging in snow.Step 1 - Drive to the listed coordinates. Enjoy your first view of Helena. The fellow in the distance with the big nose is the Sleeping Giant. Now find the street sign with two "W" streets and a DEAD END. Look at the largest number on the signs.A = the first digit of that numberB = the second digit of that numberC = the sum of the digitsD = twice B(Can you tell yet that 1/2 of Paddock2 is a math teacher?)Step 2 - You will now head for N 46 BB.828 W 111 59.DD9. To get there: Go C/2 blocks East on Winnie. Turn right onto the street named for "what woodworkers do to finish wood." Cross 2 streets, then the road will curve left and become Virginia Dale. Follow it and turn right on a new street named "A fruit used to fight scurvy - A Tool used to fire clay." Stay on this main paved road; DO NOT ENTER ANY PRIVATE DRIVES. The road will eventually become South Hills. With roughly .8 miles to go, the road will become improved gravel. As you follow your GPS, think "Keep Montana Green" and be sure to look beneath the boughs. You are hunting for a micro cache. Be sure to read the 1st page of the log for final coordinates. Log that you made it this far with the stubby if you like.Step 3 - Turn up Martinez Gulch and follow the new coordinates to the cache. It is only a few steps of the road. This is a standard size ammo box whose original contents are: Log Book, Pencil, Sharpener, "Key to 50 States" travel bug, disposable camera(Say Cheese), a Robocat, frog statue, Montana postcards, sea shells, a belt clip keychain, a Tigger Activity Book, Sport ping pong balls, a Koosie, barrettes, and some blue agate stones. Enjoy your second "Helena View"; we hope you enjoyed the chase.
