Geocache Description:

A prime location for a micro, and it isn't hidden in ivy!

The cache is not, of course, at the location given. But it's less than a mile from there. When you're at the cache, your GPSr will tell you that the given location is some number of wavelengths (call it P) of the hydrogen line (that's the frequency you get when the proton and the electron change from being parallel to antiparallel) away, on a bearing of 3.63 radians. Well, it won't actually tell you that, but it'll tell you numbers that are equivalent to that. P is the 939th prime.

But maybe the wavelength of the hydrogen line has temporarily slipped your mind, so there's another way to find it. The title of the cache should make it easier, you can ask a local for directions. But locals probably won't have any idea where it is, I know I wouldn't have until I set this cache. So there's a third way. Look at the first picture, and a good map (or show the picture to a local, we all know where it is).

That picture should make it easier. When you see this, you're close to Chalk Dell.

That still gives you quite an area to search, so here's another picture - when you see this, you're close to the cache.
