Geocache Description:

Well after five (5) years of caching Tahosa has finally lost most of his marbles. And some have said my loss of marbles was caused by my use of a magnetic compass. You will need to find his marbles, so you will know the directions to the next waypoint. And after you have found the lost marbles you will know where the cache is. Knowledge of waypoint projections and map intersections are an essential component of this multi in the hills.

Those who are slaves to Garmin's arrow will find themselves cursing Tahosa's name to hide their own shame. Think before you act, read the map and use the trail if its there!

After you park, go thru the gate, follow the trail to the Sign. Once you have found the sign do a 4°T GO TO the sign from the first set of marbles, Your distance will be .32 miles to the location of the first batch of loose marbles, and more instructions. But you will need a compass, before you are done.
Here is a Rhyme to give some reason to a compass
East is Least and the Truth is Greater

There is a nice FTF prize giftwrapped in the Camo Sack. After that its the junk collected from various caches of mine.

Cache Upgrade - 2012 - Due to those miscreant Irish Leprechauns who play with that Magnetic pole. Things have Truly changed so its time to remember the days of Yore (Drake) and Lil Tahosa who is known as the The Colorado Caboose these days and factor those caches as one of the facets of this cache. And of course that means an upgrade in the D's.
