Geocache Description:

Another in my PO Box series.

This cache series is being extended and was originally developed by Maryland cacher mdsurveyor. With his kind permission and help, I am continuing the concept. The posted coordinates are for the Post Office. The cache is NOT in or next to the building. The cache will be within walking distance or only a short drive from the Post Office. A simple puzzle once you learn how to apply the sets of three numbers for the cache and some simple math. (Grid:Row:Column) Knowledge of some representative common symbols will also be necessary. To find the cache location, use the (Grid:Row:Column) format: N 42° 12.000 + (Sum of Zip Code numbers)(G171:R2:C3)(@) - ($) - (G171:R4:C6) - (^). W 076° 50.000 + (G291:R8:C7) + (G171:R3:C3)(*) – (G171:R2:C17) + (G291:R6:C5) - { [ * ] [ ( ] [@] + [ $ ] } - { [ ( ] [ ^ ] - [ # ] } The P.O. Box lobby is open M-F 12:45PM to 4:45PM and Sat 10:00AM to 12:00PM. Closed on Sunday. If this is your first "P.O. Box" cache, visit the first in the series, P.O. Box – Bel Air (GC1BF0T), for the instructions to help you solve the puzzle. Increased difficulty due to limited lobby hours. The Geosum of the W coordinates is 36, and of the N coordinates is 22. BYOP. Congrats to ittakes2nys1 for the FTF!
