| FIRST: Locate the listed
coordinates. Then follow the below directions to locate the final
cache.
CACHE ACTION: Upon
arrival at the target coords. answer the below questions to reveal
the next set of coordinates and continue on your way to the cache.
You do not have to go inside to answer the questions but I suggest
you do because the food is excellent!
Action #1: Locate the three digit building number of the Pizza
Restaurant (above the door). Input the last digit in the last blank
space in the Longitude West below.
Action #2: Using the same three digit building number subtract
two from the middle digit and input the remaining number into the
remaining blank space to reveal your next location.
N 36 16.68__
W 081 43.66__
CACHE ACTION: Now you will need to locate "Tater Hill Rd." for
easiest access to the next location.
NOTE: Once you have located the next target location you will
know you are at the correct spot if you feel the urge to quench
your thirst...feel free, the water is safe here. Now, continue with
the hunt...
Action #1: Locate the orange and white buried cable marker. On
it is a "call before you dig" phone number. Write that number,
minus the area code, here: __ __ __- __ __ __ __
Action #2: Input the third number into the second blank space of
the longitude west.
Action #3: Input the first number of the phone number into the
remaining blank space to reveal your next location.
N 36 13.828
W 081 40.5__ __
CACHE ACTION: Running the ridge to your next location you will
drive on pavement and dusty gravel roads that pass through some
beautiful high country--but be careful on these narrow, curvy
roads--especially in the winter.
Soon you will come to the end of the road. When the park is open
you will be at a parking-lot. When the gate is closed gate the park
is closed, DO NOT ENTER.
Pay heed to the sign as you enter the park:
NOTICE: Park Gate closes at 7:30pm
Vehicles remaining in the park will be locked in
until 8:30am the next morning.
Persons remaining in the park
after closing are subject to being
arrested for trespassing
Walk to the fence, enjoy the view then follow these
directions:
At the target coordinates, near the edge of the cliff, on the
ground, locate the symbol seen in the attached photo (you may want
to print copies of the pictures out for later reference).
To the right of the symbol about five feet away find an
inscription with a date. NOTE: Some of the information is missing,
the name is no longer there and part of the date is missing, there
are two digits still there..
A =: first digit in the YEAR (two digit year)
B =:The second digit in the YEAR (two digit year)
N 36 13. A B 0
W 081 40. 5 9 4
This will reveal the final resting place of the cache.
CACHE ACTION: To locate the cache you will need to first locate
the target coordinates.
Once there, locate the large Oak Tree growing out of the rocks,
in the attached picture.
The cache is in a standard ammo can. Please re hide the cache
exactlyas you found it -- thanks.
Best of luck.
NATURE NOTE: In this area live several rare and unique plants
and animals. Please tread lightly and quietly to avoid any damage
to this rare and beautiful area. Stay on the trails and well worn
rocks. Do not try to climb the rock faces because it will damage
the fragile lichens that grow here and you may fall to your
death.
WILD-NOTE: In the warmer months you may see several different
forms of wildlife here. Please treat them with the respect that
they deserve as they are all protected from harm--snakes included.
If you see a snake please do not harm it--just take a photo and
post it here, thanks!
Remember! This is a WILD area with all of its components: live
wild creatures(that may hurt you--oh my!), mud, dirt, scat(fresh
and sun bleached...the fresh will be accompanied by a rather
unpleasant odor so WATCH OUT! Often, if you poke a stick at scat,
fresh works best, just the right way you will be able to determine
what type of creature left it there and just what that creature had
eaten for its last meal!! WOW-ain't nature great!), uneven ground,
rough surfaces (that may abrade your skin), heat, cold, wet water
(that becomes hard and cold in the colder times and OH MY -- this
will often fall unpredictably from the sky and if you are not
prepared it will make you and your coverings WET!! See: Weather
below), dryness(may also chap exposed skin), rocks (watch out for
these things--you may trip on them and fall !), plants (some you
can eat and some will make you itch and bleed), sand (that makes
you itch if you get it in your nether-regions), pollen (a
by-product of the above plants that may make some of you sneeze,
itch and cough), wind (that may chap exposed skin and disturb
carefully placed hair), air (this could be anywhere from hot to
warm or cool to cold), weather (a combination of many of the
factors present here. This is entirely unpredictable unless you
believe what the National Weather Service tells you), light and
dark (and all the shades in between), unpredictable sounds created
from unknown sources (some of these may be pleasant...but sometimes
not...and they will hurt your ears!), sometimes you will see a very
bright disk overhead (but don't look directly at it as it will
damage your eyes. It may also cause red burns on your exposed skin
so bring your protective devices and chemicals), often there is a
lack of light accompanied by a glowing disk in the sky that is
pleasant to look at...and much more! Just remember: there will be
plenty of random unplanned events that you will encounter on this
hunt and on any venture you take into the natural world--so be
ready for them as they are the things that make life worth
living!
NOTE: During the dead of winter when there is snow/ice on the
roads, you may not be able to get to this cache except by foot or
with a good 4-wheel or all terrain type
vehicle. |
