Geocache Description:

Stone Camouflaged FatBoy ammo can


To start this hunt, use the following coordinates to find Stage 1 and stage 2 of the "Circle of 12":

Stage 1 N39 06.905 W119 44.145
Stage 2 N39 07.958 W119 45.707

Stage 1 contains the latitude and Stage 2 contains the longitude for finding stage 3. The rest of the "Breadcrumb" caches each contain both sets of coordinates.  These caches are located on the front range ridges and mountain tops around Carson City.  

The coordinates are in Minutes/Decimal (MinDec) and is the same system geocaching.com uses, i.e.  N39 06.022 W119 46.022.  Please bring a pad of paper and a writing utensil to record the coordinates.  Please do not take them!Each set of coordinates are on tags attached to a metal beaded chain.  There are two tags in each breadcrumb, they are the same.  One tag backs up the other in case one gets damaged and isn't readable.

This hunt might possibly be done in a day, but I suggest at least 2 or 3 days.  I do not recommend young children or anybody whose health is borderline for this hunt. It is nearly 26 miles long as the crow flies.  It is much further in actual traveled distance and has some very vigorous  hiking.  The following graph should give you an idea of what's ahead.
