Geocache Description:

A puzzle to celebrate Pi Day March 14th. These coords are for the parking at the Babcock Preserve. Solve the puzzle to locate the cache.

Some people can solve this puzzle from memory. I'd say that would be a difficulty of well over 5.

Here's the puzzle:

2 3 50 69 86 98 109
13 15 17 18 32 50 68

Instead of a Geochecker, here's another puzzle which will yield the same answer if you are doing it correctly:

92 68 50 41 27 22 10
99 91 86 81 77 71 68



The cache is a small (3x5) blue Geocaching pelican case about 0.25 miles from the parking on the red trail. I added a half star to the terrain rating because there is no online trail map available. A board with a trail map is located at the map waypoint.

There are three other caches in the preserve. All four can be found on a loop hike of over two miles.
