After a long hike, we tried to find the end of the the first stage. We saw signs for the pipeline so we thought for sure that we were in the right place. After searching for a half hour on the side of a cliff full of poison oak, we gave up and finished the hike in a somber mood.
When I got home I solicited the help of another racer who helped clarify some of the values. That gave us new coordinates to try later. I'm not sure if stumbled across an intentional deception or not, but we were definitely at a pipeline (there was even a sign) at the wrong place.
