Geocache Description:


The above coordinates are NOT CORRECT.

The account of a soccer mom's two days of driving should guide you to the correct coordinates:

She started her day off at N30 27.650 W97 49.192 (home), drove to N30 28.387 W97 46.807 to get coffee. Then drove to N30 27.423 W97 46.401 to drop her oldest off at school, headed to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 to drop of the youngest. She then had to drive back past N30 27.423 W97 46.401 on her way to N30 26.539 W97 45.988 to drop off the mail. Finally she arrived at N30 25.813 W97 48.317 for work.

At lunch she drove from N30 25.813 W97 48.317 to N30 26.182 W97 47.137, made a left and picked up lunch at N30 27.061 W97 47.571, drove to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 and then back to work at N30 25.813 W97 48.317.

She then had to go pick up the kids and head home. She just back tracked her same morning route to get back to N30 27.650 W97 49.192.

After dropping the kids off, she drove from N30 27.650 W97 49.192 to N30 28.023 W97 48.010 then headed to N30 27.061 W97 47.571 to pick up fast food for dinner. She then headed to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 and back on to N30 27.650 W97 49.192.

As luck would have it, they didn't give her the kids meal and she had to go back out and get it. She drove the same way she did to pick up dinner.

Now, she headed out to do shopping. She left N30 27.650 W97 49.192 and went to N30 28.387 W97 46.807, then to N30 26.539 W97 45.988 to pick up some fruit. From there off to N30 25.813 W97 48.317 to finish her shopping, then back to N30 27.650 W97 49.192. Unfortunately, she forgot to pick up the milk, so she drove to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 and then to the grocery store at N30 27.423 W97 46.401.

She then left N30 27.423 W97 46.401 and drove to N30 27.061 W97 47.571 and then to N30 28.023 W97 48.010 to get icecream, but she left her wallet at the store, so she drove past the coffee shop at N30 28.387 W97 46.807 on her way back to N30 27.423 W97 46.401, where she found her wallet but ended up falling asleep in the parking lot.

The next day she woke up in a panic. She drove from N30 27.423 W97 46.401 back to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 and to home at N30 27.650 W97 49.192. Since the kids didn't have school, she just went from there to N30 28.387 W97 46.807 to get her normal coffee then to N30 26.539 W97 45.988 and on to work at N30 25.813 W97 48.317.

Due to the lack of sleep, she took an early break and left work at N30 25.813 W97 48.317 and drove to get another coffee at N30 28.387 W97 46.807, then headed home to N30 27.650 W97 49.192 to check on the family.

They were fine, but needed to go to their schools for soccer practice. She left home at N30 27.650 W97 49.192 and drove the youngest to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 then dropped the oldest off at N30 27.423 W97 46.401. She decided to make a quick stop then at N30 28.387 W97 46.807 to get a third cup of coffee, then off to N30 26.539 W97 45.988 for lunch.

After lunch she drove from N30 26.539 W97 45.988 to work at N30 25.813 W97 48.317, but realized she needed to pick the kids up, so she drove to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 to pick up the youngest, then to N30 27.423 W97 46.401 to get the oldest. Then it was back home to drop the kids off, so she drove to N30 26.762 W97 48.727 then home to N30 27.650 W97 49.192, dropped the kids off and headed over to get coffee at N30 28.387 W97 46.807.

On her next trip, she just back tracked her last trip.

Then she ended up back tracking that, just realize that her last three trips she was looking in the mirror the entire time.

After all back and forth driving she finally left the coffee shop at N30 28.387 W97 46.807 and headed home at N30 27.650 W97 49.192, but had to go back to N30 28.387 W97 46.807 to get her husband a coffee and then pick up the oldest at N30 27.423 W97 46.401, the youngest at N30 26.762 W97 48.727. Then she had to stop by work real quick at N30 25.813 W97 48.317 before heading to N30 26.539 W97 45.988 for dinner.

I had to agree that those two days were crazy and I don't know how she did it.

For the log itself, you will need to bring your own pen or pencil to be able to sign the log.
