Geocache Description:

Coordinates are for the parking lot of the MO Department of Conservation Center at the Cape County Park North! A very nice place to visit, but not the location of this geocache.

This is a puzzle cache, so read thoroughly and rack your brain.


USE THESE COORDINATES FOR CALCULATIONS

Those of you who know me, know that an accurate set of coordinates is very important to me. Something happened between placing this cache, shooting and averaging 16 sets of coordinates and posting it on GC.com. The coordinates seem to be a little bit off. Not sure if my GPSr was wanky, or I transposed something along the way. You're going to have to use the information on this page to try and fix my problem and find the cache. The 'Hint' will give you some ideas of what direction to go (Google & Wikipedia are your friends), but will not help you in the field.

Once you've figured out the puzzle, please don't post the coordinates in your log. If you won't post the coordinates, I won't delete your log.

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