Geocache Description:

This cache was the brain-child of M3. His uncle has been preparing for a triathlon. As we discussed how a triathlon has three different tasks (swimming, biking and running), he said that would make a great basis for a cache. So, we have come up with the 3Bs Cache. The intention of the cache is to give you the chance to use a boat, bike and boots to complete this cache!

The first task will bring you to Irondequoit Bay. There, you will gather information with which to calculate the second WP. The second task will bring you to a nice bike trail. The coordinates to the final will be along that trail. Finally, break out those boots. The cache isn’t far from potential parking, but we hope you will still have enough energy left to enjoy the area. Hike around and enjoy an amazing area.

The final is a 50 caliber ammo box full of goodies. There are lammies inside for the first three finishers, chronicling the order of their finish.

The three sections are located within 5 miles of each other, depending upon where you choose to begin each portion.

Treasure the journey!

To calculate the second WP, observe the color of the lights on the concrete pillars of bridge on your way to the first WP. Once at the first WP, look at the closest pillar and count the number of ladder rungs on the concrete. Now you have all the information you need to proceed.

WP2 is located at N 43 12.ABC W 077 28.DEF
A= 2 * number of rungs
B= number of rungs + number of letters in color of light
C= numeric value of second letter of color of light
D= numeric value of second letter of color of light + 1
E= 2 * number of rungs – 1
F= number of letters in color of light - 1
