Geocache Description:

The first stage is near, but not at, the listed coordinates. You can walk to the final from the first stage.

I thought I've been concentrating on the sciences too much, so here's one for the humanities aficionados. Cache is multistage with a mini-container (larger than a micro) for the final. All stages are within a short distance of one another, and take you to what I call small versions of our neighboring state's famous geologic features.

Flowers in a Vase with Shells and Insects The Stage Coach at Louveciennes The Bridge at Argenteuil Basket of Fruits The Scream Young Redhead in an Evening Dress
Christ at the Sea of Galilee Madonna in the Church Portrait of Mariana Waldstein Woman in a Red-Striped Dress Still Life with Four Sunflowers Irises, Roses and Other Flowers in a Porcelain Vase Nighthawks

For an easier and more scenic approach to the 2nd(final) waypoint, take the trail up to the right. Also, in years past, there were signs warning of rattlesnakes in the area. Those evidently have been replaced by warnings of larger predators.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

6-9-17 The final has disappeared twice now so I put the final at what used to be the 2nd stage. The cache is now a mini decon container. Continue a little further west on the ridge for good views and a neat rock arch.
