Geocache Description:


***This cache is a 3-stage teamwork cache.***
It is not located at the posted coordinates. You are not permitted to be here after dark. Please note the attributes.

This cache, "Oklahoma-Utah Teamwork Cache" is a partner cache with the Utah and Oklahoma cache, GC7P829 in Layton, Utah, which was placed by my partner Team Christiansen. The Oklahoma cache consists of two virtual stages and the final cache. To find the Oklahoma geocache you will need to find a partner who will be looking for the Utah cache. The team work comes into play, as you help your partner find the Utah cache, and your partner helps you find the Oklahoma cache, without either one of you traveling to the other state.

Find a partner: You may obtain a partner by posting a Write note log on the Utah cache page requesting a partner, from which someone will respond to you (or you can respond to a Utah geocacher who has posted on the Oklahoma cache page that he/she is looking for a partner).

Exchange information with your partner: Once you have a partner, you and your partner will find and exchange information with each other that will lead you to the Oklahoma cache and your partner to the Utah cache.

Find the cache and sign the log: Once you find the cache in person and have provided your Utah partner with the required information, you may log a find online. Per GC guidelines: You may not post a Found It log on the Utah cache page unless you physically visit the Utah cache and sign the logbook. Do not sign your Utah partner's name in the OK log book. Your partner may not post a Found It log on the Oklahoma cache unless they have physically visited it and signed the log.

Use this code at virtual stage 1:
8-17,1-11,3-1,4-7,1-3,9-6,11-4,6-20,5-5,4-12,2-4,3-8,11-4,12-11,7-9,2-15,
1-8,5-7,12-5,2-25,15-6,8-19,9-14,4-2,11-7,8-22,10-27,4-20,7-10,12-5.
1-1,2-6,3-18,4-15,15-8,6-6,10-19,6-26,13-1,7-7,8-18,5-16,9-8,3-1,2-15,
10-30,14-26,4-18,1-8,7-17,3-8,11-21,14-6,5-28,8-17,9-4.

What you find will be ABCDEFG:
To get N*: F-D, 5E, 3D+1, A-B, F-D, G-E, C+F, A-C
To get W*: B-2D, 3D, E+G, C, C+D-E, A-B+C, A-D, B-D

Here’s where the Teamwork comes into play: You will not be able to proceed until your partner in Utah gives you instructions to find the Final cache. Use ABCDEFG you found at Stage 2 to provide your partner with the final coordinates in Utah:
N41° (C+D).(F-G)(A-C)(E)
W111° (B-D)(2D).(A-D)(F)(F-A)
