Geocache Description:


The coordinates above are for the parking area at the Russell Rd. Des Plaines River Canoe Launch. The gate is open from 6:30 AM until sunset. THE CACHE IS NOT HIDDEN AT THESE COORDINATES! You need to solve the puzzle below to get the cache coordinates.

N, + = ___, , , + = ___. , + = ___, .
W, - = ___, , , , . , , .

You will need to go to the Smiley window to see what each one represents. You can find this information by doing the following: 1) Click on "log your visit." 2) Click on the yellow Smiley (Emoticon) face button (right above where you sign a log) to pull up the Emoticons and what they represent. Print this out if you want. You'll also need to do a bit of math here, folks. You can click on the evince link below to see if you have the right coordinates.

I enlarged the cache container so it can hold more items. Please bring something with you to sign the log.

Maybe you'll feel like this when you find the cache…or maybe you'll feel like this if you don't! Leave an Emoticon in your log (Hey! What's the one for !@##!!!*#!!@!!?).
