Geocache Description:


This is a 2 part multi-cache, once you figure out Stage 1, you'll be less than 75 yards from Stage 2 and your final destination with a big payday! If you're good at basic math, this should be a cinch.

At Stage 1 coordinates, you will find a bus stop sign with bus route numbers and a phone number on the bottom of the sign. In order to figure out the coordinates to Stage 2, you will need to use the numbers on the colored sign, follow the formula below and presto, you'll have your Stage 2 coordinates.

It's best to park your car in the Park-n-Ride because you'll be able to walk from here.

To get the correct North coordinate for Stage 2: on the bus sign, there is a partial phone number at the bottom (xxx yyy-cats). Add the two sets of numbers together (xxx + yyy = total zzzz). Divide zzzz by 20, then add 5 = total bb. Subtract bb from your North coordinate to get the correct Stage 2 North coordinate for the cache.

To get the correct West coordinate for Stage 2: simply add 5 to the West coodinate and you now have the correct Stage 2 West coordinate.

As mentioned, you are now within 75 yards of the cache. Walk carefully, may be muddy. Also, I have been at the cache very often in all seasons of the year and haven't seen any snakes, but always use caution when walking in brush/woods/rocks. It's a fun cache, give it a shot.

If you have TB's that need to go around the country, cache owner does travel from N to S, E to W and back again, always looking to take TB's on new journeys.

Thanks and Happy searching! Email me if you have any questions.
