The cache is not at the listed coordinates, which are parking on Palos Verdes Blvd. right across the street from the west end of the 2-mile boundary trail between PVE and Torrance's Hollywood Riviera. Informally known as "The Bridle Trail" (or to some geocachers as "St. Hart's Trail"), the trail starts at Via Valmonte on the east end, and has high muggle traffic at times, including walkers, runners, dogs, bikes, etc.
There are 17 St. Hart's 'Hood caches spaced every 0.1 mile or so along the 2 miles. (Some of the 17 are for Premium members only.) The western-most of our 17 caches is right across the street from the listed coordinates — GC4HT92 (St. Hart's 'Hood: Oh-and-Two at West Trailhead). Next east of that is GC3EN5T (St. Hart's 'Hood: Via Capay), etc. etc. etc. If you haven't grabbed these 17 caches yet, we hope you enjoy the diversity of hides and hosts as have many previous cachers.
Not a night cache. Not a high muggle area and you might not be noticed by anyone, but nevertheless, please be quiet and respectful given the nearby dwellings, etc.
Check the Hint if you need help solving the puzzle (no HTML or higher level math/logic involved), searching for the cache at the calculated final coordinates, identifying the host, extracting the container, or replacing the container. Be sure to replace cache container out of sight in its hidey hole ...
You can check your calculated final coordinates on Certitude.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
I take little credit for design of this cache — it's modeled on a highly favorited one we saw in Napa after Caching The Bay mega in 2016. (But the "simple" puzzle is mine.) Let us know if you think the D or T ratings need adjustment.
