See der Deck? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache Effect: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Neither the cache or the deck are at the posted coordinates!


This is a cache hidden for my Dad (CoalBranchDad)
to thank him for helping me build my deck this summer.

To find the cache you must first determine
how many boards are needed to
build the deck pictured below.

Each cedar board is 16' long and 4.5" wide. The gaps between the boards have already been factored into the width dimension.
The Plans
Calculate the area of one deck board then determine how many boards you'll need for the total area of the deck. Use this number to determine the final coordinates for the hide.
Assume that 100% of every board can be used and nothing is wasted.
(I know....this is NOT a *real* deck project! )

N 53° ([#boards + 333] ÷ 12.358)'
W 113° ([#boards + 555] ÷ 17.910)'
