I found this spot while on a bike ride on the Illinois Prairie
Path. At N 41º 47.393 W088º 16.452 you will find a
bridge. To find the coordinates to the cache do the following:
1. To find the North coordinate find the phone number of the
bridge manufacturer and substitute the letters for the phone
number.
ABC-DEF-GHIJ
N41º IJ.DFE
2. To find the West coordinate find the bridge’s vehicle
load limit in pounds and plug it into this formula.
XXXXX (load limit in lbs.)
+ 6550
W088º XX.XXX
The cache container is a 4 inch round camouflaged jar from
Spyders Seed Cache (GCG4WR). The cache contains lots of small tools
and hardware. Nearby access points to the Prairie Path are at
Farnsworth Av., Felton Rd. and at O’Donnell Park. Enjoy the
view.
Update - 8/23/03 It appears that the seed from Spyders
cache has grown eight legs and walked away. The container has been
replaced with a new one, still a regular size cache but not enough
room for trade items, only a logbook and pencil.
