Geocache Description:

The coordinates listed above are for the first clue and not the cache. The terrain at Meadowood is gentle rolling hills and open fields. To find all of the clues and the cache could take a couple of hours.

This cache has been placed on Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) with permission from the Bureau of Land Management. Please follow the following rules while searching for the cache:
  1. Only attempt the cache when Meadowood is open - the times are posted at every entrance
  2. The trails are multiuse between hikers, horseback riders and others
  3. Give horseback riders the right of way on trails
  4. Stand to the side of the trail until horses are well past you
  5. Speak to horseback riders as they approach. This helps the horse understand that you are not a threat
  6. Keep dogs on a leash at all times and make an effort to restrict dogs from barking
  7. Never run at or touch a horse without the riders permission
  8. Never follow directly behind a horse
Hidden on Meadowood are three clues each composed of two numbers that must be found before you can locate the cache. Each clue gives part of the final coordinates.

The clues while easy to reach are "hidden" so LOOK CAREFULLY! All of the clues are along the trails except for the cache. Please respect the local plants and animals and their habitats by staying on designated trails until close to the cache.

You can find the clues in any order -- just don't scramble the numbers!
