I took a long bike ride through Columbia, Savage, and Jessup on this rather cold March morning. Along the way, I found 1 TerraCache, 2 opencaching.us caches, and 2 benchmarks - not a bad haul. After visiting the first stage a couple of months ago and calculating the final coordinates at home, I returned today for the find. First, I definitely think there's a typo in the formula for the parking waypoint. Using E*2 in place of E should bring you to a good place to park the car and begin the bushwhack to the cache. That's where I started, and it worked well for me. There's a bit of a trail there leading into the woods. I wheeled the bike a short way down the trail, leaned it against a tree, and bushwhacked the remaining 300' or so to GZ. Not a bad approach this time of year, but may get "growth-y" in the summer. The coordinates were good and I found the cache quickly. It is still in great shape after the maintenance in 2018. I happily added my signature below sfcchaz's, just shy of 5 years after he scored the FTF. This was a great cache! Thanks for placing it and keeping it going.
