Geocache Description:

This cache will require almost all of the normal Pro Cacher equipment.
If you don't have a calculator which will take a number this long don't complain about the cords being off.

Look for the color at the above cord's.
From the above FAN out to find the clue which will get you to position # 1.(approx 70m away)

Step 1
You are to find a tag (a fairly familiar style of tag)

******TAG # 613 edited..jan28 2011*********

Record the number.
From this point you will need to go,
The tag # div by 5.0874427518566607156014049646926 to get deg's true,
then the tag number times 32.04301582381729200652528548124 to get number of meters.

Step 2
You have now arrived at the end of the road near some orange paint on a large tree.
From here head @ approx 300deg true for approx 300m while you FOCUS on the tags present.
Record these #'s

Now to get to the next point you will have to use those tags .
For your True brg total the tags and divide by 61.270132596091016392276786358215 this will be brg in true North
then for the distance add the 3 largest ##'s together and then multiply by the sum of the remaining ##'s
Now divide this number(sum of largest 3 times the sum of remaining tags) by 235.16260900058573549011455977212 = METERS.

Step 3
You should be standing out of the Fast lane while locating this point.

What is the # on the plaque?........
What is the black painted number nearby ....
To get your brg and distance to the next step.
Ignore the letter(s) here and add the numbers together. record these numbers......
Divide the # by 811.59591041636979796476105485974 for the brg true.
Then for the distance div the # by 3.4084162807959980946969706467491

It will likely be very cold and wet here..
Don't worry for you are almost 1/2 way home BUBBA don't get queasy now.
You will now need the unique station number (federal) associated with this position.
Record this number.

You should now see a pattern developing

Step4
From this point go 15353605.1291 m at a true brg of 180 deg
once there you will need to go on a true north brg of 123 41 42.216 West
with a distance of 15364787.6105 m
ED WONT MAKE THE TRIP

Step 5
Using the last clue found
Divide the clue by 1738.6607133796829639447044351066 to get your meters EAST.
Divide the clue by 133877.61124127239635119372911023 to get your meters NORTH.
Round world of course.
Here you are to locate another tag.
Record the number.

Step 6
From the position of the above tag only a stones throw away.
Lets assume we are standing at the next clue.
To get back to the above position you would need to go
2312.2441885957073M EAST.
3017.4381292423595M NORTH.
Round world of course.

Step 7
after finding the next clue and recording the clue number.

Finally you are on the home stretch.???
So here it is.
Using the clues that you have found add all clues together to get?
I.e. any time you were instructed to record the number

clue in step 1 =?
step 2 =?
3 =?
4 =? ETC

In the case of multiple clues the sum is required for that step.
You should have recorded 7 numbers or sums of numbers.

Now the fun begin's.
Hopefully you came equipped with the correct calculator.

Divide your TOTAL clue number by 39790625.500099257041122427232651
this will give you your Brg true.

Divide your TOTAL clue number by 1236064.1409524183103670838468494
