How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are the location of the first stage. The cache container with the software library is the fourth stage. Please exchange CDs only. If possible, post a photo in place of signing the log, which seems to easily get soaked.

Each stage contains the coordinates for the next stage.

There are puzzle solutions for the cache locations 2 through 4. The first 3 stages are structures, and each one has a serial number on a plaque at each end. Record the serial numbers and plug them in to the simple equations to get the coordinates of the next stage. Please note: One of the plaques is illegible, but the plaque on the other side is OK.

Stage 1 serial number = A B C D E - F

Stage 2 serial number = G H I J K

Stage 3 serial number = L M N O P

Stage2 Coordinates
Lat = 30 degrees A/3+(B+F)/10+(E*F)/100+(D-C)/1000 Minutes
Lon = 95 degrees A+(C+D+F)/10+(B-E)/100+(A-C)/1000 Minutes

Stage3 Coordinates
Lat = 30 degrees G/3+(H+J+K)/10+I/100+(H+I)/1000 Minutes
Lon = 95 degrees G+I+(K-I)/10+(H-J)/100+(K+I)/1000 Minutes

Final Cache Coordinates
Lat = 30 degrees (N+P)/3+(M-O)/10+(L-N)/100+(P-N)/1000 Minutes
Lon = 95 degrees L+N+(M/2)/10+(L/3)/100+O/1000 Minutes
