Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The above listed coordinates are not the location of the cache!
They are a in the middle of a pond in South Hadley, MA, which is
the town where the cache is located. It is up to you to come up
with the final cords. One of the benefits of membership in
geocaching.com is that you have the option of receiving
notification of new caches in your area. This information includes
the distance to those new caches. In order to calculate these
distances, geocaching.com has established baseline coordinates in
each city/town from which to make these measurements. To find this
cache you need to find the baseline coordinates for South Hadley,
MA.
Over the years geocaching.com has changed the base coordinates
for each town and city. Because of this I have to add an offset to
the Ground Zero coordinates.
Subtract 1.048 from the North Ground
Zero Coordinates
Add .158 to the West Ground Zero Coordinates
The cache container is a magnetic micro that is only large enough for a
log. You must bring your own pen or pencil. Stealth is required at
the final location, as there are a lot of people passing through
the area. Parking in the area is free and plentiful. Please do not
post how you came about finding the final cords, even if your log
is encrypted. Please re-hide the container as found with the
appropriate camouflage.
Congratulations to: Aslanspawh for the FTF honors and neoc1 and
Feathers for finding the cache on the 1st day!!
