Geocache Description:

Quick puzzle cache with a bit of bushwacking involved.

A while back the regulars in the "Cheers" thread on the Geocaching Off-Topic forums decided to do a Secret Santa gift exchange. My name was 'pulled' by Seamus, a cacher in Manassas, VA. Seamus really pulled out all the stops and sent a fully stocked ready to go cache complete with logbook, trade items and travel bugs. Even better, the container is even an actual ammo can!

It may have taken a while, but I have finally placed this cache, and have made a bit of a puzzle, one that I know is right up Seamus' alley, him being an electronics wiz. In fact, he was one of the first people to test out the puzzle for me, and helped iron out a few kinks.

Thanks, Seamus, for the cache and for the help with the puzzle, and thanks to the rest of the Wheypointers for also helping with the puzzle.

Now, the puzzle itself: Below are two sets of resistors, add up the total resistance of each set to get the coordinates for the cache.
