This is a 2-stage multi-cache. The final stage is about 2 miles from the first. At the first stage, do not stop or park on the main street. There are side streets and various parking lots where you can park safely. Do not attempt to cross the fence. Find the sign that describes the original use of the building.


On the sign is a 4 digit number.  You need to use the digits of this number to calculate the coordinates of the final stage. Call these digits ABCD.

Subtract the first digit from the whole number of the minutes in the North latitude at the first location.  (15-A). This will give you the whole number of the North minutes at the final location.

Add the third digit to the whole number of the minutes in the West longitude (38+C). This will give you the whole number of the West minutes at the final location.

Multiply the second number by 3. Taking the decimal portion of the minutes of the North latitude at the first location as a whole number, subtract the product to get the decimal portion of the North minutes at the final location. (31-3B) Note: you will have to put the zeroes back into the decimal because you are using .031 as just 31, so if your answer is 8 you will have to look for .008. (If your answer is 8, it is wrong.)

OK so far? The last one is more complicated. Multiply the first number by 3; multiply the second number by 20; multiply the third number by 5 and multiply the fourth number by 30. Again taking the decimal portion of the Minutes as a whole number, subtract each of the four products from the decimal portion of the Minutes of the West longitude at the first location to get the decimal portion of the Minutes at the final location. (640-3A-20B-5C-30D)

Now go find the cache.

Schon lange planten Trinity67 und ich unseren dritten und vierten Jasmer-Loop CoolCoolCool Heuer sollte dies nun endlich mit einer perfekt ausgeklügelten Tour klappen und so begab ich mich auf die tolle Reise gen Texas, um dort mit ihr mit diesem schier wahnsinnig anmutenden Unterfangen tatsächlich zu beginnen CoolSmileWink
Wir begannen in der neuen homezone von Trinity67 und arbeiteten uns danach langsam südöstlich vor, durch ein paar Staaten bis hin zum Golf von Mexico, dann ostwärts bis nach Florida. Von dort gings dann nördlich bis nach West Virginia und von dort langsam zurück, westlich bis nach Colorado Cool Dort wurden wir etwas unsanft vom gerade aufziehenden blizzard genötigt, unsere Tour ein wenig umzuplanen und so flüchteten wir südwärts durch New Mexico zurück bis Texas. Dort nutzten wir die verbleibende Zeit, um einige gelöste geo-arts in smileys zu verwandeln und eine erhebliche Menge an tollen Herausforderungen zu meistern Wink Insgesamt reisten wir in etwa 130 Autostunden über 9000 Kilometer durch 18 Staaten, besuchten dabei etliche uralte caches aus 2000 und 2001, verewigten uns in manch tollem Logbuch und erkundeten einmalige Gegenden BigSmile kurzum: wir schafften unser gestecktes Jasmer-Ziel und darüber hinaus weit mehr als das SmileSmileSmileSmile

Ich danke Trinity67 für die erstklassige Planung dieser grandiosen Tour und für die tolle Begleitung als Cacherin und Krankenschwester Wink während der nicht immer einfachen Tage; nicht zuletzt für den unermüdlichen Einsatz bei Wind und Wetter Smile

Und natürlich bedanke ich mich bei allen ownern für ihre tollen Ideen, für die schönen locations bzw. die schönen Verstecke, respektive für die Orga der events und für das Auslegen und Pflegen der vielen schönen Dosen; jede einzelne davon war etwas ganz Besonderes BigSmile Ohne solche owner wie euch wäre unser geniales Hobby gar nicht erst möglich, also habt vielen lieben Dank BigSmileBigSmile

Herzliche Grüße aus Kerpen

For a long time, Trinity67 and I planned our third and fourth jasmer loop CoolCoolCool This year, this should finally be a perfectly ingenious tour and so I went on the great journey to Texas to actually start with this seemingly insane endeavor CoolSmileWink
We started in the new homezone of Trinity67 and worked our way slowly southeast, through a few states to the Gulf of Mexico, then east to Florida. From there we went north to West Virginia and from there slowly back, west to Colorado Cool There, we were a bit rudely forced by the blizzard just starting to reschedule our tour and so we fled south through New Mexico back to Texas. There we used the time left to turn some solved geo-arts into smileys and to master a considerable amount of great challenges Wink In total, we traveled over 9000 kilometers through 18 countries in about 130 hours, visiting several ancient caches from 2000 and 2001, signed many great logbooks and explored unique areas BigSmile in short: we achieved our triple and quadruple jasmer and beyond much more than that SmileSmileSmileSmile

I thank Trinity67 for the first-class planning of this terrific tour and for the great accompaniment as a cacher and nurse Wink during the not always easy days; not least for the tireless use in wind and weather Smile

And of course I thank all the owners for their great ideas, for the beautiful locations and beautiful hiding places, respectively for the organization of the events and for the laying out and care of the many beautiful cans; every single one of them was something very special BigSmile Without such owners like you, our ingenious hobby would not even be possible, so thank you so much BigSmileBigSmile

I’m still new to this, and this was my first multi-location cache! Had fun figuring this out.

On vacation, staying with daughter, Gnome-Goddess, in Pueblo. Caching Pueblo area today with Gnome-Goddess. Had looked at this multi before and today was the day since we need several multis yet to meet a challenge. Made quick work of finding the numbers, then parked nearby to do our figuring. Read back logs for a clue. Then using our geo-senses quickly found the cache. Signing as Parentsof4ks or pof4ks or p4k. Tftc

Place is pretty overgrown, but with diligent searching (after almost giving up...it HAS been a year since last find) found log and container in good shape. I'm glad since this is my 1st multi found TFTC
