Geocache Description:

This cache is about relationships; not necessarily good, healthy relationships, but toxic types. For many people toxicity in their human contacts lead to long-term, debilitating illnesses. Since it is all of our responsibility to make the World a better place, this cache aims to educate by way of one simple example how reckless disreguard for the poisons we inject in our environment can take years to clean-up, if possible at all.





This is a basic math puzzle requiring familiarity with chemistry. The cache is not at the stated coordinates. To get the fractional portion ( N39°35.z ) you will have to figure out the numbers by way of the math problem below. The key for the encryption of the coordinates (k) begins with the following molecular formula: C14H9Cl5



Divide the following number, 57702 by the non-decimal portion of the molecular weight(g/mol) of this stuff (k) to find the fractional portion of the Latitude(z)

Next, to find the fractional portion of the Longitude, divide 26.904 by the non-decimal portion of K's molecular mass.
