Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates are not the location of the cache. If you go there, you will likely be struck by a speeding car on US-40.

To find the cache, balance the mobile to get the values needed to find the coordinates.  Enter the numbers 1 through 9 in the blank weights so that the mobile remains balanced.  Each number is used exactly once.  Ignore the weights of the horizontal bars and vertical strings.

Once the mobile is complete and balances, substitute the weight values for the corresponding letters in the coordinate formula.

Correct the listed coordinates as shown to find the cache:

N 39° 17.736 + BFE/1000,  W 076° 54.096 – DJC/1000
