Geocache Description:

... what time it is? Does anybody really care?


Well, you better care! This cache is not at the coordinates above, but is within one minute north and west of that location (i.e. you only need to find the missing digits for N 49° 16.??? W 122° 53.???). You'll have to spend some time watching the clock to find the actual coordinates - the seconds (at least the decimal portion of the minutes) are there somewhere. If you are like me and your eyes are starting to go, click on the clock to see a larger version of it.

The difficulty rating of the actual cache is two stars (**) but I've bumped it up to five to account for the puzzle.

New: You can check your answer for this puzzle online using the Coordinate Checker.

While there are multiple routes to the cache location, one trailhead is 404m at a bearing of 164° true from the cache location. Cache container is a camo painted 1.7L Lock 'n Lock.
