10/30/2009 update: Most of the cows have mooooved on, so
I've filled in most of the numbers below. Just visit waypoint D
which should be recognizable without the cow and you will have the
final coordinates The plywood Holsteins have been placed throughout
Los Altos Hills as part protest (Los Altos Hills-style) and part
community art project. The protest is by local residents who are
upset that all the elementary schools in LAH have been closed and
local kids have been sent to Los Altos schools. You can read more
about the project at
lahcows.org.
This multi-cache will take you on a tour of some of the cows. To
find the coordinates of the final cache, match the picture of each
cow and its cow number with its' coordinates. You can visit the
cows in any order, but the order below should minimize your
driving.
You may notice there are 8 cow pictures and only 6 coordinate
digits you need to fill in. This is intentional. Two cows are
unused. You'll have to visit all 6 locations below to eliminate the
evil cows.
The Cows
Cow 0 |
Cow 1 |
Cow 2 |
Cow 4 |
Cow 5 |
Cow 6 |
Cow 8 |
Cow 9 |
If you can't find a particular cow, trying moooing loudly. They
really like that and may come out to laugh at you.
The coordinates
A: N37 22.927 W122 08.274
A = Cow _2_
B: N37 22.310 W122 08.384
B = Cow _0_
C: N37 22.007 W122 08.118
C = Cow _5_
D: N37 21.937 W122 08.194
D = Cow ___
E: N37 21.516 W122 07.788
E = Cow _4_
F: N37 21.947 W122 08.572
F = Cow _9_
Now, find the cache at N37 2A.BC1 W122 0D.EF2. The cache
container is a Nalgene bottle wrapped in brown tape.
Bonus!
Once you've found the cache, I will accept a second find log on
this cache if you find another (plywood) cow in Los Altos Hills not
listed at one of the coordinates above. I know there are plenty
more. Post your coordinates and cow picture in your (second) log.
Your GPSr must be in the picture. Only one cacher per cow and cow
per cacher. Offer not valid in Florida or Delaware.
If you're a LAH resident, I guess you have an advantage. You can
stick one in your own front yard and take a picture there.
Moooooo!
