Geocache Description:

The cache is not at this location but after solving the puzzle below you will realize you are within a few hundred feet!

There are many nice features of Chiawana Park. I put my kayak in the river here and have always referred to this area as Chaiwana Meadows. It offers one of the most unobstructed views of the Columbia River and Bateman Island. The cache is not located at this location but it puts you at the north side of the meadows. To find the cache you need to solve a quick number puzzle. It is third grade level as my daughter is the one who came up with it, so it should be pretty quick.

Look at the number ladder below and determine which number comes next on the ladder. Solve for X.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, X

Now some quick math. X - 126 = Y 214 - X = Z
Subtract Y to the north coordinates.
Add Z to the west coordinates.

Good luck and have fun!
