After finding a number of caches in Europe I came to like the ‘weird’ type of multi that I frequently discovered. I figured it would be fun to do the same in the US so here we go…

Stage 1 and 2 are virtual stages. Stage 3 is a standard 30mm Ammo Box with a logbook and the usual goodies.

Stage 1 is located at the coordinates listed above. You fill find a couple of signs on a tree. In order to get to Stage 2 you need to count how often certain letters of the alphabet show up on all the signs.

E=
I=
T=

Stage 2 is located at N41 13.(I)(8)(E)  W73 54.(I+T)(E+1)(I+T)
Here you will find another set of signs. In order to reach the final cache you need to count one more time:

L=
V=
W=

Using the counts from Stage 1 and 2 you should have no trouble finding the final cache.

The coordinates of the Final are: N41 13.(W+L)(W-1)(I+L+V)  W73 54.(I+T)(I+L+V)(E+L)

Have fun!
