Geocache Description:

You are strolling down the legendary Backbone Trail when you notice a familiar man-made structure. Clearly, US Patents were involved in the construction. There is one in particular that concerns you:

 US  A,BCD,EFG
PAT  A,HIJ,KLM



The final location (N34 0W.XYZ W118 RS.TUV) can be easily found then:

W=L+M;
X=B;
Y=D;
Z=H+M;
R=H+D;
S=J;
T=M;
U=D+L;
V=G;


The cache is a camoed cylindrical can. A pen is included but bring your own just in case.
Depending on the lighting conditions some people may find it hard to read the numbers without reading glasses and/or a flashlight. Alternatively you can put your digital camera to good use and enlarge the picture.
