Geocache Description:

This is a regular cache as close to the building where my office was (without being on private property) after my fifth move or 6th place of employment with a major forest products company. The bogus coords are the location of the actual building I worked in, but don't go there.


My wife and I first moved up here from Southern California to join my brother and his wife in 1980 to work for a major forest products company. Little did I know that during those 28 years I worked at that company, I'd be moved around from one building to another for a total of 11 times.

This location was my 6th place of employment with the same company during about '93-'95. This location was know as WTC. I can't tell you what it stands for without divulging the name of the company. It's here where I continued supporting the Apple PC for those that still had them (mainly engineers and scientists) and was responsible for the system that automatically backed up them up every night.

BTW, this is the last of this series that you'll see coming from me. I've enjoyed putting these out there just to tell a story. And no, this is not a resume. I do not want another job except for the ushering jobs my brother and I do for the Seahawks, SoundersFC and UW.

To find the correct coords, you must solve the problem below. This is going to test your math skills. The difficulty rating is based on the math, mostly. Some will breeze through it and others will have a tedious ordeal. However, there is a $5 FTF and $1 STF prize. Good Luck to all.
