Bennington Backwaters Multi-Cache
Led Astray: When to check on the cache today and both the 2nd and final stages were missing. Nobody had successfully or unsuccessfully sought this cache for quite some time so it is time to let this one go.

This is a three stop multicache. First stage is an offset redirector (no physical cache), 2nd is a micro redirector w/ only coordinates for final. Final is a standard ammo box with trade goodies.
Nice 2 mile loop south of Bennington Lake on established dirt trails with a little up and down. Steady climb at the end. Maps are available at the parking lot. Look for the break in the fence.
This is our first hide; one of many in our future. We won the great ammo box at the recent Walla Walla Valley Cacheoholics Meet & Greet. We would like to thank Bluesman63 for providing the ammo box and wonderful starter bounty.
First stage is best approached from N46 04.011 W118 16.025 parking area above Bennington Lake. This multicache is great for hiking, mountain bikes, or horses (although they may want to park further down at the reservoir).
Find the numbers at the first stage and do the math (there is no cache).
Take the lower number found, divide by 10,000, drop the last digit, and subtract from the first stage North coordinate minutes to get the North coordinate for the next stage.
N46° 3.855'
-_____0.xxx'
=N46° 3.yyy'
Take the higher number found and divide by 1,000,000, round up to one digit, and subtract from the first stage West coordinate minutes to get the West coordinate for the next stage.
W118° 15.835’
-_______0.00x’
=W118° 15.83y’
Second stage contains only the coordinates for the final cache.
Good luck and happy caching!
