Map Travel Instructions:
It can be useful to print the map and the worksheets
You will travel from point "A" to point "B", following the straight-line map below.
A straight-line map is a simplified drawing of how a mapped route would look if it was a piece of string that was then pulled straight, with all of the connecting paths still attached. The straight line represents the path(s) being traveled at all times (although the actual route will not look anything like the diagram). To the left or right of the central line are "branches" which are instructions for what to do at each intersection.
Path is defined as Blacktop path, concrete sidewalk, painted or unpainted crosswalk.
An intersection for this cache is defined as where:
- Two or more paths meet
- Two or more crosswalks meet
- Public access point meets the path
The following are excluded: Roads, private walkways or driveways. At no time except for crossing roads does the route go on a road for motorized vehicles.
At each intersection, you must decide to turn left, right or go straight. For example if the branch attached to the center line on the map points left, you must either go straight or turn right . Or if there is a branch on each side, then it is an 4 way intersection and you must go straight through. Two branches on one side also means a 4 way intersection where you must turn.
To find your start location (point "A") go to the posted coordinates. There you will find a mail box (not intended for mail).
On the front of the box is a blue sign. From the blue sign, find the following:
W = Number of words in 1st line
X = ( Number of words in 3rd line ) – ( Number of words in 8th line )
Y = Number of letters in the first word on the 7th line.
Z = Number of letters in the last word on the 6th line.

If you brought your bike in your car you may want to park here before proceeding to point A on the map.
To find the cache, go to point "A" , make your heading 161 and ride your bike to point "B" following the map. Record the total distance you traveled from point "A" to "B" via the route. You will know that you have reached point "B" when shortly after the last intersection you reach a wooden bridge. Stop at the Southern end of the bridge.
From this spot, you will project the location of the cache.
Distance traveled by bike in miles (to the nearest 1/10th of a mile).
A straight line (as the crow flies) from point A to B (to the nearest 1/10th of a mile).
Bearing = (A)___, (B * 3)___, (C)___ degrees
Distance = (C-5)___, (F / 3)___, (B + C)___, (F - C + B)___ feet
Since this is more about the journey than finding the cache, you are looking for a nano.
