Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not the location of the cache, but they are the place to park for your hike. You will need to make a stop on the way for an extra piece of info though.


”To a person uninstructed in natural history, their country or seaside stroll is like a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall.”

To begin your trek you must first go to N45 31.819 W122 43.027. Here you will see an archway with a four digit number on it. Note this number and then head to the listed coordinates to continue your hunt. Once we arrive, look around if you like, then head to the trails. On your way down you will cross a bridge over a creek, note the name of the creek.

Y = the sum of the digits on the archway plus one

Now on to the first waypoint…

Waypoint #1

Y = sum of digits on arch +1
LLL = (44 * Y) + 4
JJJ = (57 * Y) – 2
45 31.LLL
122 43.JJJ

Here you will find a plaque with the above quote. How old was the author when he died?

Final Coordinates
B = Answer to question in waypoint #1
ZZZ = (11 * B) + 30
YYY = (11 * B) + 27
45 31.ZZZ
122 43.YYY

At the final location you will find a VERY well cammoed bison tube. You will not need to leave the trail to make the find. Please hide the cache exactly as you found it. This hide is designed to go unnoticed by the many muggles that frequent this area and also to not mar the beauty of the area.

NO BUSHWHACKING NECESSARY. If you are more than 2 steps of trail at any time then you are in the wrong place. Please stay on the trails and respect the area.
