In order to find the set of six coordinates needed for the final stage of this geocache, you need to visit the initial stage, the posted coordinates I have given to you, first. At the initial stage you find the materials you need to figure out the coordinates for the final stage.
Please plan to spend some time. This is not a park and grab.
Please be careful. There is slowly running water nearby. It is beautiful to look at but please use caution so that neither you or your GPS are swept away. There is a bridge to cross.
DO NOT attempt to find this geocache by foot from Route 194 South. Dr. Tate has given me permission to place this geocache on his property, and you may park at the given coordinates.
Please do not disturb or disrupt the medical practice in any way. Please do not leave trash behind.
Please be very careful when you are crossing the bridge. It does not have railings on the sides, and it does look like it could become slippery in wet weather.
Please use caution when you are on the bridge, or across the bridge in the grassy area. This area looks like it could possibly be home to some of nature's creatures. Watch out for gopher holes, too.
You’ll probably want to retrieve the cache container at the initial stage and take it back to your vehicle in order to “do what you need to do” in order to figure out the coordinates for the final stage. OR, if the weather permits, you could sit at the site and use the picnic table and work out the solution! Pack a lunch!
The final stage is not far away, just a short distance. You won't need to get back into your geomoblie.
Please take care when you handling the contents of the cache container you have found at the initial stage.
Please make sure to close the cache container properly when you are finished because moisture and bugs will be this cache's enemies. I had help from the family with the construction of this project and I would hate to see the project get ruined because of someone's carelessness. Hubby, who provides my "Operational and Logistical Support" and "Dominatorman1" helped me to drill the holes. (That drill gets heavy!!) And my physician sister-in-law double checked out the math problems for me. Thank you for your consideration.
Here’s the formula you need to obtain the coordinates for the final:
N
1st coordinate equals: camels plus 13=A
2nd coordinate equals: elephants plus 24 =B
3rd coordinate equals: giraffes plus 422=C
W
4th coordinate equals: arks plus 17=D
5th coordinate equals: lions minus 37=E
6th coordinate equals: horses plus 801=F
Please do not post any revealing pictures. I'd like for each geocacher to experience the same amount of fun as the "first to find" cacher has. Thanks!If you have counted correctly and done your math correctly, you are on your way to finding the final location.
Congratulations to msmrjhampsteadmd for being the FIRST TO FIND ON JULY 17, 2018 AT 12:15 PM
In April of 2020, the giant bush that had been holding/hiding the ammo box was cut down. I had to relocate my box just about 20 feet away. Along the creek that you cross to get from the parking lot to the field, there are plenty of large trees. The box is hidden in between two very large trees, closer to the road than to the metal bridge that you crossed. I did not change the original posted coordinates because the two trees that now hold the box are just a very short distance away from the original coordinates where the bush had previously been. Please see attached photo.
