The cache is not at the listed Coordinates. This is a daytime cache only. The park closes at dusk. No fee is required if you do not take a pet with you. There is a child height restriction.
An easy puzzle will supply you with the final coordinates.
Since the original small container has been taken once, I do not want another taken that may have TBs in it.
I have placed a large MICRO in its place. It's not large enough for TBs.
Winter snow and cold really slows down the caching activities.
This couch potato puzzle will help you forget your cabin fever blues for a little while, and there’s a winter friendly cache to be found at the end
The cache is located 50 ft S of N41 53.CAB W090 10.DAB.
AB = Total number of Triangles of all sizes found in the picture.
C = A-B
D = A-3
Were you expecting a Triangulation problem using higher math?
O.K. If that’s what you want, here it is. The cache is located:
(2222 in base 7) ft. from the oldest cache in Clinton.
(Maximum number a torus can be cut into with 16 cuts) ft. from GCKNHY.
Given a right triangle with sides X, Y, & Z where side Z is the hypotenuse. The length of side Z is 295.572153381 Smoots. The length of side Y is 881856.1 Hair’s Breaths. The length of side X is the distance from this cache to the 666th cache that I found that’s verified by my find log.
I have now given you TWO different ways to solve this easy problem.
Use which ever way is easiest for you to solve and then
GO GET IT.
Congratulations to 24hawki as FTF.
Update Jan 11, 2010 - Cosmic*Cacher's logic is indisputable. They discovered an error in my formula when they found more triangles then originally accounted for. The formula has been changed to reflect that higher triangle count.
Thank you, C*C. You receive a Gold Star. You can check your answer here for the location of the container- GeoChecker
