Geocache Description:

Our first cache hide is dedicated to first (and only) son. The posted coordinates will take you to the park but not to the cache.


His first foray into sports was at this park where he played T-Ball. His favorite positions were first base and outfield. He had his first major sports accomplishment with his first baseball team.

He was playing first base in the first inning. There was a child on first and a child on second. Another child came up to bat and hit a fly ball. Son caught the ball making the first out. The boy who was on first base was running to second so son ran back to touch first base making the second out. The boy on second ignored the coaches and started running to third (it’s T-ball!). Son threw the ball from first to second. Triple play!

The cache coordinates are:

N – 40 14.xyz
W - 76 39.y11

x = f – 6
y = x + 1
z = f - 7

Please re-hide as well or better than you find it.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Note: Although this cache can be solved (non-uniquely) algebraically, there's an easier way!

After getting the coordinates from Geochecker, subtract 0.005 from the north coordinate.
