In it's sixth iteration MOH is sadly now a bison tube
Things have changed a lot since MOH was first placed. In 2004 it was a neat little multi with a regular final near a pond in the middle of a triangle formed by roads. Minor construction moved a stage so it became a traditional cache in 2008. Shortly after that major construction lasting 3 years changed the landscape completely, but the tree remains on the edge of the woods until someone decides to develop it. It had been reduced to a micro for a brief time but then upgraded to an ammo can. Now the property has been purchased and the site developer beat me by 24 hours and my ammo can was lost. To preserve a 14 year old cache in 2018 I made it a easy P&G although parking is a small challenge.
This is now the sixth stage of this caches evolution. The second and third stages were killed by the nearby construction. This location is right on the border of the bike path. The best parking option is probably north on Williamson then turn into The Sanctuary and park on the side of the road (Roscoe Turner Rd). The convenience store/gas station across the street is also an option. This place sometimes has active construction during the day and it's a traffic mess in the morning due to the elementary and middle schools nearby. If you can avoid those start times you'll be happier.
Look at all the stuff you used to have to do. The second stage got removed and multi's aren't that popular so MOH is now a traditional single stage cache
During summers spent in New England I have learned a bit of Yankee wisdom. One of those pearls is the use of MOH or Material On Hand. Before Home Depot and Lowes, gathering materials for a job could take you many places. It took both time and money. MOH saved both and this has strong appeal, particularly in the "Live Free or Die" state.
DISREGARD ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. THEY ARE JUST HERE TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH EASIER YOU HAVE IT.
Out of respect for my northern roots, I created this little 5 stage multi using MOH. No micros to find, the clues are all standing out there for you to discover.
The coordinates listed are for stage one. Locate the MOH with a number in the format XXXX XX. Assign the numbers the letters ABCDEF. Substitute into the expression to find the coordinates of stage 2. N 29° 0(E).(B)(F)(C-A)
W 081° 0(D/2).(E)(E)(F-A)
At stage 2 look for MOH with a number in the format
XXXXXXX .0001. Assign the letters GHIJKLM to the first 7 numbers. Substitute into the expression to find the coordinates for stage 3. N 29° O(G).(J)(L-M)(M-H)
W 081° 0(H).(J)(K-H)(J+H)
At stage 3 look for MOH with a number in the format
XX XXX XXX. Assign the letters NOPQRSTU to the numbers. Substitute into the expression to find the coordinates for stage 4. N 29° O(O-R).(T-U)(N+U-R)(N)
W 081° 0(Q-U).(R)(S)(P)
At stage 4 look for MOH with a number in the format
XXXXXXXXXXX. We have only 5 letters left so we can only use the first 5 numbers. Assign these first 5 numbers the letters VWXYZ. Substitute into the expression to find the coordinates for the cache. N 29° O(V).(W)(W-V)(Y/3)
W 081° 0(Y-X).(2Y/3)(V-Z)(Y-Z)Look at all the stuff you used to have to do. The second stage got removed and multi's aren't that popular so MOH is now a traditional single stage cache
