Geocache Description:

Co-ordinates listed are for parking only, you will need to do some easy calculations to determine the actual cache location (which is not too far from the parking area).

This cache has been named after certain members of our team's favorite TV show,"LOST".To find the final cache you will first need to look up the "LOST" numbers. These are a set of six numbers, in numerical order, which are easily found through any on-line search engine. Plug the numbers into the following equations for the final cache location.

(PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT too difficult a hide as the cache is intended as a place to quickly drop off travel bugs but is out of the way a bit to avoid muggles. It was difficult to get a good GPS reading here but keep in mind that there is NO need to scale rock ledges OR climb through any tunnels to reach the cache.)

Final Cache Co-ordinates: N43 A.BC W073 D.EF
