Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates. To determine the cache location you will need to solve a puzzle based on Team Spoonhead's GROUND ZERO cache. Many thanks to Team Spoonhead for introducing us to this concept, and to all of the other cachers who have utilized the GZ method in their caches.

The FizzyCalc tool (using high accuracy) may come in handy for this:
  • The coordinates for GZ Boxborough, MA are N42 29.100 W071 30.966
  • Find the point that is 1772.304 meters from GZ Boxborough and 2908.285 meters from this cache's listed coordinates.
  • What next? Well that's what makes this a puzzle cache!    :]

You can check your answers for this puzzle here: Geochecker.com.

UPDATE (8/20/12): The methods for determining GZ have changed again. I have decided to include the Boxborough GZ coordinates above, and have dropped the degree of difficulty down a half-level.

Please remember to replace the container "exactly" as you found it. Thank you, ...and happy caching!

Congrats to g-o-cashers for finding it first!
