One day three out of town cachers visited the Halifax peninsula to do a little caching. With the high price of gas they decided to carpool to save some money. However, they were also a bit lazy, so they agreed they wouldn't do any caches they had to walk more than half a kilometer from the car to get to.

They had a good day hunting around the city, and each found a cache they felt was personally appropriate:

  • While parked at N44° 39.304' W63° 37.403, cacher Camel Herder led the way to Potter's Field at its original location.
  • While parked at N44° 40.503' W63° 36.502, cacher Buddy Jutty enjoyed The Pit.
  • While parked at N44° 39.702' W63° 36.601, cacher Welding Hammer figured out the original coordinates, then added 0.015 to the northing and subtracted 0.011 from the westing to compensate for a move of the container, and was happy to locate this cache.

The three cachers found this cache. Can you?

In your logs, please do not mention any specifics of the cache location area so others can't bypass the puzzle and find the cache with a brute force search. Thanks!
