A: An instrument for determining directions, as by means of a freelyrotating magnetized needle that indicates magnetic north.

Your transformation to find this cache will have several components:
Cabinet 16 & 15 & 14

Look high, look low, look all around at each of these specific works of art, to glean the information to solve the two equations.

Equation # 1: A radius from one of the transformers
Equation # 2: A bearing from one of the transformers
Where these two lines intersect you will find the cache.

Radius:
The radius from the ___bulbs lamp post is: "Warning" ___517
Radius: ___ ___ ___ m.
Radius: R1 R2 R3 m.
#16 R1 = SP43___03
#15 R2 = SP___3862
#14 R3 = 221-671___

Bearing:
The bearing from the fat tires is: ___ _5__ ___.___ _5__°T :: A 5 B . C 5 °T
#16 A = ___24-670
#15 B = 30___KVA
#14 C = SP4___81___ = ___ + ___=___ !!!

The final solution will only get you close, so maybe a ~ Déjà vu ~ experience will be very helpful and use his datum Ø492622 mE & 4488762mN when he made is famous flight.

I had a great time with this one even though I had a hard time with 16a numerical value, I decided to use some highly tuned geo senses to make the correct bearing value determination to see where the probable bearing would take me to any open area ,after a short drive I finally came up to the walk-in area did a little searching and some tree scrambling to sign the log on this great urban cache thanks for the fun Joe look forward to more of your in-city hides!

We tracked down the information on a previous run. But we could not find one of the data values on one transformer. Kudos to ecanderson for finding the solution even though we had a missing data point. TFTC

Well THAT was certainly some 'entertainment value'!

We never did find the value of "A" for the bearing, but since the only options are 0~3, I took a look at all of them. Only one generated a result that looked at all like the photos at GZ posted by the CO, so that's where we headed. Sure enough, looked up and there it was, a familiar Tahosa macro container.

Our personal rating scale says we deserved 1/2 more star for the terrain, though! (1 star + 0.5 star for every 5 feet, maximum of 5 stars at 40 feet+).

About time I logged this, eh Joe!? My wife had to work on this Independence Day so I decided I needed to do some caching. It just hadn't worked out for me to get into FC to visit the transformers and do the required map work before today so I made sure to change that. I did recon via the computer to ascertain the exact locations of the cabinets before I went. Once in the field it didn't take long to gather the required information necessary to do the plotting. With it being 90° outside I found a shady parking spot and set about putting the coordinates on the map along with the necessary bearing and distance. My plotting pointed to a very promising location and it just so happens that I had parked not too far away, by accident, so I headed over there. After a short walk to GZ I saw a very familiar looking tree and comparing it to the photo, it was a perfect match. From there it was a little effort to locate the container and ink my moniker on the log in the TTF position.

Thanks Tahosa and Sons for establishing this really nice urban cache. I didn't see any lampposts anywhere near GZ!!!
