Geocache Description:

The second cache in the Transcendental Meditation series.
The cache is not at the initial location
The final location is surrounded by pretty steep terrain but the way there isn't too bad, it's looks worse than it is.

Put into laymans terms, a trascendental number is one of those numbers with lots of digits after the decimal point that go on forever.
The most commonly recognised one is PI and most people know it to a few places, which is generally good enough.
However, in this series of caches the final locations are based on codes and transcendental numbers and you might need rather more digits than usual to find the final location.
The first few caches will be quite recognisable numbers but later caches in the series will become progresively more difficult and the codes used more obscure.
To add to the horror of this series will be some disturbingly unfunny math humour.

A constant function and e^x are walking down Leonhard Euler Road. Then suddenly the constant function sees a differential operator coming from the direction of the high school and turns and runs away. So e^x follows him and asks what's wrong.
"Well, you see, there's this differential operator coming this way and when we meet he will differentiate me and I will disappear" the constant function replied.
"Oh," says e^x, "he won't bother ME, I'm e to the x!"
So he turned back toward the high school and soon met the differential operator.
"Hi," he said. "I'm e^x."
"Hi," the differential operator replied. "I'm d/dy."
The location for the final location can be found within the following diagram:
