Geocache Description:

**NOTE: Cache is NOT located at the listed coordinates; these are for one of the parking areas. Waypoints for both parking areas are listed below.

**FTF honors go to familyflea! Congrats!**

To date, 266 Popes have been elected to the Papacy (ex. [1]St. Peter, [2]St. Linus, ..., [266]Benedict XVI). Find the chronologically ordered numbers for the following Popes and use those numbers to calculate the actual coordinates for the cache:
-Gregory IX
-St. Stephen I

Actual coordinates are:
N 39° 43.XXX W 076° 58.YYY
where:
.XXX = number(Gregory IX) x 5
.YYY = number(St. Stephen I) x 6

Special thanks to 007Family for their caches, which brought me here in the first place.
