Well it is time to do some Urban Map work.
~ Resection ~
~ Intersection ~

---

Stage one and the final uses these ~ Cabinets ~ and these ~ Cabinets `~

Parking for Stage one is 167° for 211 ft. from location of Stage One

Now go and find these transformer cabinets to obtain the bearings from them to stage 1
2016 # 20 ~~~ A B C KVA ~~~ ? ? ? KVA + 7.5° ° T
2015 # 20 ~~~ See Image ~ Take a Bearing ~ Old License Plate DE1-748 ~~~ DE.12° T
2016 # 15 ~~~ F 5 0 KVA ~~~ F24.62° T

When you finally locate stage one, then you will have to visit three other transformer cabinets in order to find your bearings for the final.

And your final bearings will be from the final to those last three cabinets.

Alpha = 51.22°
Bravo = 335°
Charlie = 286.8°
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie are just code names for the respective Transformer Cabinets. #

Please leave code sheet in Stage One for the next cacher. Thanks!

Out with WingsAndTales to work on this interesting multi. It takes a little longer when you're not from the area, but we got it successfully today. Thanks for the cache!

COpackrat and I got the initial clues last week and then did the calculations for stage one at home. We were back in the area today and found the second round of clues. After a little quality time with internet access we had the coords for the final. We had to expand our search a little there but it was in a logical spot. We are each one step closer to a multi fizzy. TFTC

Wow Tahosa looks like this one was probably in the "Lonely cache" status probably will be the only finder for 2018! Lol BTW this cache full filled another one of my D/T Combos I need ed. Thanks for the fun!

Had some time off the last week after some R&R I decided to partake in some fun Tahosa style caching ! After a lengthy Hiatus in caching I decide that this cache would fit the bill to get me back into the swing of things! I set out to find some of the pretty boxes that were needed in the cache sequence the first two for me were pretty straight forward in plotting the 2 points but the third gave me a small struggle even though not needed I eventually end up finding the last box to get to stage one .I was off 20-30 feet or so on the first plot but the surroundings and my Spider-Man senses zeroed in on S1 easily. Family matters haulted any other transformers findings for that day so I would take at least two stabs at it. Even though three points are best for triangulation I opted for two and rolled the dice and came up with a nice intersection point that looked promising, after a half hour or so later and overlooking it the first time I reeled in a great multi today Thanks for the fun Joe had great time working on this one! Great cache worthy of a favorite point for sure!

Out with ec and cobiker, waited much too long to log! Glad to see you back in Colorado, TFTC!

A very challenging cache. After all the plotting I was about 238' West of GZ. The 3 of us spread out looking and we found what we suspected it would be. TFTC

What a merry chase THAT was. Did this one in three passes. Our final intercepts didn't put us as close as we'd have liked, but there was already a cache here a long time back, and darned if the final for this one wasn't in the same spot -- good thing the old cache was calling to me from beyond the grave or might not have ventured far enough to pick this one up.

Unlike most of these objects often found at the end of a Tahosa multi, this one wasn't so brightly colored, and was a bugger to spot on a cloudy day.

Thanks for the challenging multi-cache. We worked on the first half, found the boxes in the rain and got all the needed numbers. Drew the lines on my map and searched for a while where they intersected, but couldn't find anything. Begged for some help from the CO, and got first-class in-person service. Thanks!

Went out today to finish the job. Found the first two easily, but the third box apparently has closed hours, so we couldn't get right to it today to get coordinates. We worked around that issue and had a destination for the final. Found it reasonably quickly, about 50' off the point I had come up with, which isn't too bad by my standards. Nice little area I hadn't been to before.

Returned after getting an assist from the CO. I was about 100 feet off with my projections. Maybe I should upgrade my Crackerjack Box compass for more accuracy! As usual, I'm late to the party behind the two previous finders. I always enjoy a challenging cache, puzzle or otherwise, and this one certainly fits the bill. As usual with a Tahosa and Sons cache, it pays to read the entire cache write-up carefully before heading out to make sure you have what it takes to complete it. Anyway, well-done (fav of course), and thanks for taking me to yet another area in town I didn't know existed!
