Geocache Description:

Take a drive through the Marcola area and discover three structures that you may not have seen before. Driving time from the first set of coordinates to the cache is approximately 15 minutes by country road. And yes, Poke Along is up to her old tricks again with yet another set of calculations! NOTE: * is used to represent multiplication.

Original Cache Contents:

  • Hacky Sack
  • Christmas Coffe Cup
  • Panorama Camera (works!)
  • Bead Necklace
  • (2) AA Batteries
  • Scissors
  • Shotglass
  • Stickers
  • Geocoine 873
  • Logbook/Pen

Begin the trek at the coordinates listed above. This will take you to the pride of this small community. Once you reach this location, use the address of the structure to calculate the coordinates of your next stop.

Street Address = ABACC

Second Set of Coordinates:

44 11.DEC
122 47.FGH

Where

DE = 2*A*B-1
F=A*A
GH=A*B

Once you arrive at the second structure, use the date that it was constructed to calculate the coordinates of your next stop.

Date of Structure = JKLM

Third Set of Coordinates:

44 12.PQJ
122 50.JQP

Where

P = K – L – M
Q = J + M

Once you arrive at the third structure, you will not need to get back in the car to find the cache. However, a fourth set of coordinates is required! Use the date that it was constructed to calculate the coordinates of the cache.

Date of Structure = RSTU

Cache Coordinates:

44 12.0X9
122 50.1XX

Where X = U – T + 2R

Please be sure to remove all traces of your approach. Happy Caching!
