Geocache Description:

THIS IS A FAIRLY EASY MULTI. DON'T LET THE 3 STAGES OR EASY MATH SCARE YOU OFF!

Easy clues to the coordinates. Easy terrain, path most of way to cache.

This is a 3 stage multi with a physical cache at the final location. From stage 1 to stage 2 you will want to drive. You can walk from stage 2 to stage 3, but there is parking near both stages.
Stage 1 - Locate the 5 digit number at the coordinates above. You are in a residential area however you do not have to go on to private property to locate the number. Add the 5 digits together and multiply the answer by 8, add this total to the last 3 digits of the Lattitude. Take the first 3 digits and reverse them, subtract 16 and add this total to the last 3 digits of the Longitude. This gives you the coordinates for stage 2.
Stage 2 - Locate the 3 years which are earlier than 1999. Take the last 2 digits of the most recent year and multiply them by 10, subtract 45 from this answer and add the result to the last 3 digits of the Lattitude for stage 2. Take the first 2 digits of the middle year and add them to the last 2 digits of the earliest year, subtract 11 and then add this result to the last 3 digits of the Longitude of stage 2. This give the coordinates for the physical cache at stage 3.
Stage 3 - The physical cache. Cache container has been changed from the original tupperware to a .30cal ammo can.
The original contents are: 1 Hotwheels Dragster, 1 MiniClamp, 1 Purple Rock, 4 Blue mini Lizards, 4 Green mini Lizards, 4 Assorted mini Lizards, 4 small rubber snakes and 2 large rubber snakes.
