Geocache Description:

This cache is going to make your head spin around in circles! The coordinates listed are NOT the cache location!

While home in Chicago I found an interesting idea for a cache that involves Venn Diagrams. If you don't know what a Venn Diagram is now you will in a minute.

This cache's location can only be found by locating 3 other caches in the area which I had fun finding. Those caches are, Thorns Galore, Bjorn's Grand Tour of Grandview, Encrypted Cache.

Taped to each of the above listed caches is an approximate distance to your goal within 0.01 miles (50 ft). Find only 1 cache and you've got a circle with an infinite number of points to search. Find 2 caches and you've got 2 possible points to search. Find all 3 above caches and you've got a single point to search... and you've learned how a Venn Diagram works in the process ;)

Through some strange coincidence, all 3 reference caches are multi/puzzle so I don't expect many hits on this one. Expect the cache to be well stocked with special prize going to FTF!

If you go out hunting and come up with nothing, email me with the distances you recorded and I'll give you a better hint. Here's another hint (and a rule for the area)... walking in the woods is a no-no, so please don't do it (you won't need to!) Thanks! :)
