This geocache is in Chatfield State Park (admission fee required), a popular location for boating and watersports, hiking, biking, dog walking, nature viewing and camping. This cache was placed to commemorate the fourth annual CVSV meetup of RVers from Colorado and across the US and Canada who play every year at our winter camp in Arizona.

This is an easy 2-stage geocache. To determine the actual cache location, do the following steps: (1) At the posted coordinates, answer the following question: "When was Chatfield Reservoir officially opened?" (2)modify the posted coordinates as follows: (a) to compute the last three numbers for the North coordinate, subtract 989 from the answer to the question (b)calculate the last three digits of the West coordinate by subtracting 1573 from the answer to the question.

Now proceed to the Path Waypoint and follow the dirt path to the calculated coordinates.

We hope that you will enjoy the short,scenic, hike near the lake shore after learning a little about Chatfield. The cache is located in an area where you might spot some wildlife. Enjoy !

I rode over here on my trusty bicycle from Highlands Ranch where my house is. It was easy to solve and interesting to get to. A bit of mud, a bit of snow and a fun find. All good. Thanks for the cache!

I had done the math & finally got to the park in our truck which has the park pass on it. Quick walk from the parking lot but some ice still on the trail. Found the container not as the hint implies about 25’ from GZ. So we tried to wedge it nearby but pretty sure it will fall agin in the next wind. TftMC.

This was a really fun find. I had just sat down at the first waypoint to do the figuring and up walks a group of 20 birdwatchers. It was a lively, fun group and so we exchanged ideas on what we doing. Went on to find the cache from there. The container was out in the open so I moved it back to what is most likely it's original place. SL TFTC
