Geocache Description:

A year or so ago, Omaha decided to place "Push Pins" around town so people could take notice of some of the city's premier attractions. There are 15 Push Pins on the map (last I checked though, only 14 pins are out). Well anyways, I got to thinking. "Hey, there are 14 digits in a GPS coordinate. Now how do I go about using this to hide a cache?" It took me a while, but here is what I came up with.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!

In order to find the final hiding location of the cache, you will need to visit each of the 14 giant blue Push Pins and get a "mark" standing at the base of each one (see Map). Once you have all 14 points, put them in the table (in order). The highlighted boxes will give you the coordinates for the actual cache. Each row will give you one digit of the coordinates for the final cache hide. In the case of the Children's Museum, some math is required.

Sample

In the sample, the fourth digit is highlighted, so that would mean that the fourth digit is used in the coordinates for the final caches.



Now on with the fun. I hope you enjoy the tour.

Once you have the above table filled out, take the highlighted digits and put them in the order they are listed above. You will have a 14 digit number. That is your coordinates for the final hide. It's just that simple. Thanks for playing.
