It looks like there are issues with this 15 year old multi and groundspeaks newer guidelines. It has had a long run and rather than make the requested changes maybe it is time to put it to bed. We hope that everyone that found it over the years enjoyed the hunt.

Geocache Description:

This is the 3rd in a series at Phipps Park. I know a lot of you are going (oh no not agian). Yes you will have to start in the parking area (posted coordinates) and go to the top to obtain the information needed at the various stages.
There is about a 300 foot elevation gain in a short distance. The views provided are well worth the hike.
PLEASE RETURN CACHE EXACTLY AS FOUND.


Do to this cache having been muggled and the area some what disturbed it has been relocated. The coordinates for solving this multi should still work to find the hide. If necessarry just subtract 1 or 2 digits from the final on the north coordinates. The new location as of 4-21-2016 is the actual location we used when obtaining the final when the cache was originally placed.
The difficult part will be finding the cache???????? BRING YOUR OWN WRITING STICK.

It is kind of sad to see how much this area has been disturbed the last several years. When we used to hike here before placing this cache and at the time of placement there were 2 trails in the vicinity and now every square foot has been trampled. The good thing is it is not geocachers making the impact.
Happy Caching.

Stage 4: N45* 48.623 W108* 41.050

At stage 1 you will find a Bench Mark. Divide the year on the BM by the BM number to obtain (A). Use only the whole number. Within 16 feet of the BM is folf hole. Count the number of outer chains then count the number of inner chains and subtract. To this number add 8 and use this for (B & C).

At stage 2 subtract (13) from the number of outer chains to obtain (E).

At stage 3 subtract the number of the folf hole from the number of inner chains to obtain(D).

At stage 4 take the folf hole number (number has a black border) and subtract 6 to obtain (F).

Final Coordinates: N45* 48.A B C W108* 41.D E F.
