The Location
The cache is precisely 36.488 miles from the listed coordinates
and west of Route 3.
Helpful Instructions and Warnings
Do not visit the listed coordinates at night.
North and west of the cache you'll find a wide dirt trail that
leads North-South. On either side of the trail lies private
property. When it is time to bushwhack, and you'll know when it is
or you will not have been able to solve the puzzle, you'll find
public land to the east.
The cache is near an old stone wall. You do not need to move any
stones to find the cache so please don't. Don't lift a stone and
put it back, really, you don't need to. North of the wall is
private property. Do not cross the stone wall to the north. There
is limited parking at the trailhead. In particular you should not
block the trailhead especially during winter.
The cache is a full-size ammo can, not one of the wimpy
half-size ones...
FTFP prize is a BackBrakeBilly
puzzle geocoin. I will transfer ownership to the first
finder.
Math
There is some pretty hairy math involved in computing distances
between 2 points, but don't worry, this
web site handles all that for you.
However, once in the field, double check your assumptions! Small
errors can rapidly multiply in certain situations and this is one
of those situations. Trust the land, not your GPS and maps.
On the other hand, if all that scares you, don't worry. Near the
cache you'll find an object that will confirm you are where you
wanted to be. Yeah, even better than looking at your GPS. Then just
turn the geosense past 11 and you'll find it.
