Geocache Description:

This is a nice multi-cache that will take you to several different places, nothing special about them, I just thought that I would give a tour of my hometown to geocachers. The cache is a clear plastic box about 4" by 4" by 1".

Note: The given coordinates are NOT for the cache! They will lead you to the first of three stages, so do not go looking around there for the cache!

Location 1: 37° 27.141 N                    122° 09.189
The Indian Tribe sign overhead contains a three digit number. Take the whole number, add 25, find the square root, then subtract 12. The answer = A.

Location 2: 37° 27.(A+2)9 N                    122° 08.602 W
The other name for a jungle is above your head. The number above it is what you seek. Take it, divide it by 10, divide it by 13, then subtract 9. The answer = B.

Location 3: 37° 27.334 N                    122° 08.8(B+22) W
Note: This location is near a busy road. Use common sense and please be careful when crossing. There is a traffic light at the corner of the clue, so obey traffic laws and you'll be fine. If for any reason your GPS should point you to the middle of the road, don't follow it. It is on the side of the road so don't act irresponsibly because a machine tells you to.

The number above the alternate name for a college ten feet up from where you're standing is what you're looking for. Take it, subtract 200, divide by 4, add 10% of the original number, then add 8. The answer = C.

Using A, B, and C, find the final cache at these coordinates:
Cache: 37° 27.AB N          122° 09.C W

Happy findings!
