Geocache Description:


***This cache is a 3-stage teamwork cache. It is not located at the posted coordinates.***

This cache, "the Utah cache," is a partner cache with GC7WZ25, California and Utah Teamwork, "the California cache," located in Fairfield, California, which was placed by my partner CAVinoGal.

To find the Utah cache, you will need to find a partner who will be looking for the California cache. The teamwork comes into play, as you help your partner find the California cache, and your partner helps you find the Utah cache, without either one of you traveling to the other state.

No throwdowns, please.


Find a partner: You may obtain a partner by posting a Write note log on the California cache page requesting a California partner, from which someone will respond to you using the Message Center. Or you may respond, via the Message Center, to a California geocacher who has posted a Write note log on the Utah cache page requesting a Utah 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 Utah cache and your partner to the California cache.

Find the cache and sign the log: Once you find the cache, you should not sign the name of your partner for them in the Utah cache, nor should your partner sign your name for you in the California cache logbook. You may not post a Found it log on the California cache page unless you physically visit the California cache and sign its logbook, nor may your partner post a Found it log on the Utah cache page unless they physically visit the Utah cache and sign its logbook. Be sure to give your California partner credit in your online Found it log.


Stage 1: The posted coordinates are in Fruit Heights, Utah. Look around this area to answer the following questions:

  • A = 2nd digit of Eagle project year
  • B = 3rd digit of Eagle project year
  • C = 1st digit of UTA route number
  • D = 2nd digit of UTA route number
  • E = 1st digit of UTA location number
  • F = 3rd digit of UTA location number
  • G = 1st digit of the building address
  • H = 2nd digit of the building address
  • I = 1st digit of the building dedication year
  • J = 2nd digit of the building dedication year
  • K = 4th digit of the building dedication year

Stage 2: Based on the answers to the Stage 1 questions, the Stage 2 coordinates are:

N (C)(F)° (A)(B).(E)7(G)' W 11(H)° (D)(K).8(I)(J)'

At Stage 2, you will find information that your partner will need to find the California cache final stage. Similarly, your partner will find, at one of the California cache stages, information that you will need to find the Utah cache final stage. Exchange this information with your partner.

Stage 3: Using your partner's information, find the Utah cache final stage.
