Geocache Description:

Congratulations '39Geezer, two thousand cache finds is no small feat, here's to your 3rd thousand! The cache is not at the listed coordinates, although you may the above waypoint useful ... depending on the gear you wanna use!. Solve an easy puzzle below to find the REAL digits past the decimal points (before the decimal points, everything's correct already) - or just use the Force.

'39Geezer said that he missed logging one of my caches for his 2K milestone ... there was a tad too much snow in the mountains. Well, the snow's going fast around this location (which, in winter, is one of my kids all-time fav downhill ski haunts). I hoped to find a Wasatch Mountains location which '39Geezer haven't visited yet (a tall order admittedly). And also, instead of recyling one of Stan's favorite puzzle cache formulas, this time I hoped to use something new. So here we go.

To get the last three digits of longitude, add cresol and hydrogen fluoride. To get the last three digits of latitude, just use pentafluorotoluene.

The cache should hopefully remain accessible in the ski season, which of course means that it is way high above the ground after the snow's gone. It is in plain sight from a clearing to its South.
