Big Bert's Oneworld Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Rock Rabbit: It has come to my attention that this multi-cache has been converted into a virtual cache. Multi-caches must have a physical container and they cannot be changed into a virtual after publication. Because of this, I am archiving it. If the cache owner restores the cache to the way it was at publication and all waypoints are findable, I will be happy to review it against current guidelines for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

This multicache is dedicated to two of my friends that just recently discovered geocaching. Big Bert and Oneworld! This is a discover Winslow/Bainbridge Island cache. You will need to visit four waypoints to accumulate the necessary information to find the final cache.
On 2-12-06, due to severe changes in the area, I was forced to change the cache type! Read below for new instructions and have fun in Winslow!

The above coordinates will lead you to one of the four waypoints needed to figure where the final cache is hidden.

You may complete the waypoints in any order you choose, the waypoints will lead you in and around town. At the final cache location you will look for the word "Mule". When you find it write down the phrase under it and email me. Tell me the phrase to validate your find! Any logs claiming a find without emailing me will be deleted! I would bring a pencil and paper to keep notes! Here are the final cache's coordinates:

N47 AB.CDE
W122 FG.HIJ

Find the correct numbers for the coordinates to get to the final cache location.

** The above coordinates will lead you to an informational sign.
On that sign in the lower right corner is a small map of Bainbridge Island. The lowest two numbers are D and B.

** Waypoint #2 is located at N47 37.489 W122 31.257
Find the quilt!
On the quilt find the patch that is one patch west of north. There are three numbers together, use the last two as C and F.
One patch north of north, you'll find I. Be sure to face north when reading this number!
**Note: There has been some confusion over this waypoint. The three numbers are being interpreted as 1 letter and two numbers. The first letter/digit is either a "D" or a "0"! Hope this ends the controversy!

** Waypoint #3 is located at N47 37.351 W122 31.048
Find the plaque.
On the plaque, find when he joined the navy and use the first two numbers as G and E.
Use the last two numbers of his death for A and H.

** Waypoint #4 is located at N47 37.354 W122.30.741
Find the grate.
On the grate look for a four digit number. Use the last digit for J.
Take a few extra moments and walk the one hundred feet to the beach and check out the view of Eagle Harbor.
BTW, there is another cache nearby!

These waypoints and the final cache location are best located on foot. Enjoy the views and scenery on your walk through Winslow.
The area of the final cache location is a highly traveled area.
