This
cache requires a hike/walk of a little less than 1/2 mile one-way,
but once you get there it shouldn't be hard to find. Beware of
ticks and other insects during the summer months, you'll be looking
for a large ammo can.
This
cache is all about elements. I thought this puzzle cache would
be a fun way to use some of the basic knowledge I gained from
my years at JSU earning a chemistry degree. Sooooo.. to
figure out where this cache is you will need to solve
the following 20 questions and look up the atomic numbers
associated with each element using the periodic table provided
below. Dont worry they're not too hard!
The Questions:

After finding all the atomic numbers for the elements
in the previous 20 questions, add the atomic numbers from questions
(1-10) and (11-20).
The cache is located at:
N 33° 41.(445+sum of atomic #'s 1-10) W 85°
48.(318+sum of atomic #'s
11-20).
