Geocache Description:

A somewhat involved endeavor that you can do from the comfort of your vehicle (except for the final spot, of course). If your eyes are fast enough you may not even have to stop. There are places to pull over though, where needed, so don’t do anything silly or dangerous.

#1) Go to the above coordinates* (if something doesn't seem to work out early on, make sure you are following the hint for #1)

The number above the letter A=A
The number below the letter A=B
The number above the lowest letter K=C
The number below the "-" and next to the letter K=D
The number below the letter F=E

#2) Using the partial coordinates here (N 43º 3A.CBC W 116º 29.D7E), insert the numbers appropriately.

Plug the first number into the “F” spot. Subtract the first number from the second number and place the result into the “G” place. Add the numbers together, find the square root, and insert that into the “H” place.

#3) These are the partial coordinates for your next position: N 43º 3F.188 W 116º 2H.6G2. (see the hint below if you need help for finding #3)

Add the numbers here together and place that number into the “I” spot. Subtract the numbers here as they appear and place the result in the “J” spot. The letter you see here is the ?th letter of the alphabet. Take that number and add it to the “J” number you found above (call this number “X”). Then take the numbers that you found at the site just prior to this one (not the coordinates, but the numbers AT the coordinates), transpose them and add them to the X number, and plug the result into “K”.

#4) The following are the partial coordinates to the final cache site: N 43º 27.2II W 116º 26.JK.

Whew! Got it? Now you are on to the final spot!!!
