A cache celebrating the smoothest riding horse in the world, the
Peruvian Paso!
The Peruvian horse is a gaited horse descended from the horses
brought by the Spanish to Peru after the Conquest. They specially
bred their horses for the rider's comfort.
To find this ammo can, answer these questions about the Peruvian
horse to solve for the coordinates. The final location can be
reached from the trail.
When you're hunting the final, keep an ear out for the sound of
hooves. You may just see one of the Peruvians who lives nearby come
by you on the trail.

equation.
(A+C) (B+D) (C+F) (F-E) . (D+E+F) (C+D)
(B-E) N

(D-E) W
Each group of parentheses represents one digit of the final
coordinates.
Please be sure to rehide the cache well! It's initially stocked
with some horse related toys and other fun stuff. I'm also putting
in Viva Peru, a Peruvian horse TB, to start its journey.
