Little Ball Club Lake - 4 of 10,000 Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

cmclynn: The sign has been removed and loggers trashed the cache unintentionally, of course. TKL found the cover and bits of the log sheets. This cache has been fun but now time to allow someone else to place one at this public access if they wish.

Geocache Description:

10,0000 Lakes of Minnesota Series

dockLittle Ball Club Lake

Most of us know that Minnesota is known as the 'Land of 10,000 Lakes'. (there are actually 12,538 but we ran out of names for all of them) This Geocaching experience will take you to Little Ball Club Lake in Itasca County. This is a regular camouflaged Lock & Lock not far from the boat landing.

The fishing here is great and Little Ball Club Lake is known to the locals as a 'gem'. Enjoy this quiet little gem in the heart of Itasca County while searching for the cache.

If possible, take a little trash out of the area. It could use a little CITO beautification! Loaner got the $5 gift card from Subway for the FTF, so his lunch was on me!

Happy Caching!

PLEASE NOTE: I will delete any log or photograph that contains information on the signs or signpost. Please don't spoil it for others.

All of the information is on the sign post located at the published coordinates. Use the following instructions to determine the final coordinates:

1. Add each set of numbers from the signs together. (there are 4 sets)
2. Write down the third numeral from the top sign. X _ _
3. Write down the first numeral from the top sign. _ X _
4. Write down the third numeral from the bottom sign. _ _ X
5. Subtract this number from the sum of #1.
6. Divide the sum of #5 by the number of Alpha Characters on the post.

This will give you the Latitude (N 47 25.XXX) Simple!

To determine the Longitude use the sum from #1

7. Write down the second numeral from the sum.
8. Write down the first numeral from the sum.
9. Write down the fourth numeral from the sum.

This will give you the Longitude (W 094 00.XXX)
