Puzzle cache disclaimers:

About the cache's namesake: Jan Lukasiewicz theorized several axiomatizations of classical propositional logic. In mathematics, Lukasiewicz's Logic is a non-classical, many valued logic. It was originally defined as a three-valued logic and later generalized to n-valued (for all finite n) and infinite valued variants. However, more importantly he wrote on the philosophy of science and developed a notation for the logical connectives based around a last-in, first-out data structure.

Couple that with Lukasiewicz's notation and the recent publishing of several themed caches around Turkey Swamp ... the coordinates are:

984+2/*35*-1-86-+
383-^5*561-*82-2*3/*/
3342^6-*7+42/*3+-
932^+23^3*45*1-*1+25*74-^/+


See how you stack up, check your solution

If the gate to the archery lot is open you may park at the posted coordinates, otherwise park in the main lot. Head towards the Trail head at: N40 12.090 W074 18.496, and proceed to the cache location from there. You're looking for a small camouflaged container. Beware of stickers and briers that get pretty thick as you past the cache. You'll be wandering about 120ft off the main trail and 60ft off a secondary trail.
