I have observed the site of this cache for many, many years, but
never knew how to get to it. Once you find it, you will probably
think of it every time you drive by, as it is readily visible from
the Turnpike.
The coordinates given are not for the cache. They are for a light pole starting point.

Standing at the pole, look to the NW and spot a tall power transmission tower. There are 2 numbers posted at the top of the tower. Let the upper one be A and the lower one be B.

The second location is nearby (.5 mi) and has the coordinates of

39 deg (A+1)7.085 min
105 deg 9.(B-2)86 min

(Don't worry about the fence, you can legally go thru the gate at the end.)

When you get to this spot (keeping in mind the cache title), figure out:

How old was Nancy at her death? These digits are C & D.

How old was George when Nancy died? These digits are E & F.

The cache is at

39 deg BE.FF0 min
105 deg (C+F).3C6 min

Cache is a mag nano, log only, no pen. Out of sight, but easily accessible.

No need to climb over any fences.

We had to look in the sun for a while, but I was the one who spotted it.

Back for a visit after a few years, this time with bunnyscout5. I couldn't quite remember how to get here, so we ended up solving the multi steps in order to make the find. TFTF!

Out caching with FeartheFish and like usual driving his butt all over the place. Out getting some Jasmer caches and others. Once the math major and EE managed to do simple subtraction we quickly got to the final. TFTC!

Checked on it today, all OK, altho the wire fence had me wondering. Don't worry, there is a gate to let you access everything. No need to enter the locked gate.

Has been a while since I checked on this, so I biked out from Boulder early this AM; had the path all to myself. Final is good.

Persistence finally paid off. This was my 4th visit and I finally gathered the necessary information at WP2 which I missed on my last visit. I would have liked to have taken a walk through the cemetery, but it was locked up today. I did admire the view today. Thanks for the multi.

Stopped by this morning on our way to the airport to find the final for the Mission GC souvenir. We did the other stages to get the final coordinates on Wednesday, so we could quickly stop and sign the log. SL. TFTC!
