Geocache Description:


This cache is placed in honor of PhattyFoods, new cachers and FTF-aholics in the Tri-State area, who just hit their 100th find. As those in our caching community know, PhattyFoods' signature item is that they always place a recipe in every cache they find; just imagine how phat we'd all be if we actually made and ate everything from all those recipes!

Are you going to go to the posted coordinates and find the cache? Oh come on, you know it wasn't going to be that easy. No, instead the posted coordinates are the starting point as you'll need to project a waypoint from the posted coordinates to find the cache. From the posted coordinates, go X feet at a bearing of Y degrees true, find the cache and sign in. (You can accomplish this through the use of any of the many apps, software and GPS units capable of projecting waypoints - iGCT on the iPhone, Geocaching Calculator on the Droid, Garmin Oregons, GPSmap 62, Delorme PN-60, Basecamp, Mapsource and others are capable of doing this for you.) There, that's not so hard after all!

So what about this X and Y stuff? Well, X is the number of grams of fat in the following: 68 Big Macs, 45 medium orders of French Fries, and 11 Chipotle BBQ Snack Wraps (grilled) from the same location. Y is the number of grams of fat in two 12 oz. McFlurrys with M&M candies, a hot fudge sundae, a Baked Hot Apple Pie, and a small (16oz) Caramel Iced Coffee. (All nutritional information is according to the business located at the posted coordinates.)

Best wishes to Jamie and Trent and family!

NOTE: The puzzle has been adjusted to be correct for information available on site as of July 2012. I'm making no guarantee that Internet-based information will help lead you to the cache. As this is intended as a field puzzle, and is easily solvable by visiting the location at the posted coordinates.
