Geocache Description:

This cache is in the Knickerbocker Area of the Auburn State Recreation Area.
Also known in the caching world as Cool Cache Land.

Back when I was in math class I remember hearing that Pie are Square.
That just didn't make sense to me. Everyone knows that Pie are Round.
Cornbread are Square!

P-ville Hiker has a couple of caches (100 Meter Circle and Center Square: Geometry 102)
that spawned the idea for this cache.

This cache is located on the perimeter of a circle which is centered on the posted coordinates.
The circle has an area of 8,171.3016 square yards.

The bearing from the center coordinates to the cache measured in degrees is the same value as the radius in feet.
Example: 5 yards = 15 degrees

I used a value for Pi rounded to 4 places to the right of the decimal.
That should be all you need to figure out the coordinates for the cache.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Trailhead and parking are available near Northside School in Cool, in the vicinity of N 38° 52.400', W 121° 01.392'
or behind the fire station in Cool, in the vicinity of N 38° 52.339', W 121° 01.041'.

Please log your find or no find online so I will know how the cache is doing.
If you feel my coordinates are off please post your coordinates with your log.
So I can make adjustments if necessary.

No more boring log entries.
Hey folks how about leaving a log entry that tells me something about finding this geocache or about your day of geocaching? We are all guilty of the old cut and paste but how about something more than "Good cache TNLNSL TFTC" on 10+ caches in one day? We cache owners like to hear about your experiences. It gives us a feeling of being there when we can't be, how the cache is doing, and it lets us get to know you in a virtual kind of way. That doesn't mean it has to be long just not boring.
Remember the cache owners and anyone with a watch on the cache will read your log, how about making it interesting.
We Thank You.
