This Cache:
The story of Riverworld (a SERIES of books) begins when almost the whole of humanity, from the time of the first homo sapiens through to the early 21st century, is simultaneously resurrected along the banks of the river.
Most of the resurrectees awaken in a body equivalent to that of their 25-year-old selves, in perfect health and free of any previous genetic or acquired defects.
The resurrected each awaken with a container tied to their wrist. Made of a nearly indestructible material, these containers are commonly called "grails" and produce food, drink, pieces of cloth, and luxury items, such as alcohol, tobacco, marijuana (and lighters for some), hair-care utensils, makeup, and a hallucinogenic chewing gum known as "dreamgum."
Who did this? Why? How? The motivations of alien intelligences operating under ultra-ethical motives are explored. You will need to solve the following to get your grail.
N 40º 28.XXX W 75º 03.YYY
XXX = 523 – B
YYY = A + 829

This Series:
This cache is part of the SPACE 2081: A Geocaching Odyssey challenge.
This challenge contains one cache of each difficulty and terrain combination, plus a final cache which can be found only after finding all 81 caches that are part of the series. Each of those 81 caches will contain a code, which you will use as part of the puzzle to solve the FINAL CACHE.
All the members of the space team are actual cachers who are remaining anonymous for the moment. You can find more info on the series, as well as a complete list of released caches HERE. Please do not post hints or spoilers in your logs. Also, each cache must be signed by any individual cachers going for the final.
Good luck, may the force be with you, live long and prosper.
