PB’s PC Cache #8 – Blue Screen of Death Mystery Cache

The cache is not at the coordinates listed above.

Once again, here is another puzzle cache for people who spend too much time in front of the computer (you know who you are). This cache, like all the previous, requires computer/software/logic skills to solve.

"Blue Screen of Death" - it is the worst thing that can happen to you while you are working on your computer. If it happens to somebody else, you might feel the pain, or get a good chuckle out of it (depending who it is).

What is the "Blue Screen of Death" you might ask? The short answer is when your Windows OS "cannot compute" anymore and the screen turns blue with some text that says "A fatal error occurred at… " with a cryptic number that nobody can troubleshoot. At this point, all your unsaved work is lost and a reboot is required - not even the three-finger salute can help you. It makes you want to scream - but remember, "In the Blue Screen of Death - Nobody can hear you scream."

Well, what does it have to do with this puzzle? Nothing really, it might short-circuit your brain though, it's pretty evil.
I've enclosed an abstract picture that might help - or confuse (that's what abstract pictures do).

Here's the puzzle (line breaks arbitrary):

Good Luck and have fun!

You are looking for a camouflaged CostCo sized nut jar. Count on a hike no matter which direction you are approaching. Also, stay on the trail, there is plenty of poison oak along the way. Light bushwacking is required for the last 50 ft or so.

FTF Prize is an unactivated NSCALER geo-coin.

Update on 9/13/06:
To make you more motivated, I've increased the FTF prize to a choice of drink at the next over 21 event (If you are under 21 or do not drink alcohol, we'll figure something out).
Limited to 3 Co-FTF's - sorry, cannot afford to pay for all thirsty SD cachers that want to tag along.

Congratulations to devhead and The Dillon Gang for FTF!!!
