Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates!

From Wikipedia:
Pi is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle's area to the square of its radius. It is approximately equal to 3.141593 in the usual decimal notation (see the table for its representation in some other bases). The constant is also known as Archimedes Constant, although this name is rather uncommon in modern, western, English-speaking contexts. Many formulae from mathematics, science, and engineering involve pi, which is one of the most important mathematical and physical constants.

Your job will to be compute the digits of pi (or look them up online) to get the final coordinates for the cache. The latitude may be found starting at decimal place 867,739. The longitude may be found starting at decimal place 185,811. The solution to the puzzle will take you to an intersection where you'll have to look around for the cache!
