NOTE: All coordinate conversions for this multicache will require you to either add or subtract from a listed set of coordinates based on the clues. You will need to drop the decimal point and address only the last five digits for all coordinates when doing your math. When you input the coordinates into your GPS you will need to add the decimal back in.
