Geocache Description:


The published coordinates will take you to the middle of a busy intersection. Obviously, the cache is not hidden there! The cache is actually hidden here:


To solve this puzzle find the actual cache coordinates. Here are some helpful hints:

Here are a few helpful clues to help you on your quest:
  1. No cache is further than two miles from its published location as the crow flies.
  2. Sum of all the digits: 58
  3. Sum of all the numbers: 218.947

Check your solution here:

You are looking for a small round container with screw on top containing only a log book. Please bring your own pen. This cache has been placed with permission of the property manager. Muggles might be a problem at certain times so if necessary use stealth.

As a bonus find there is a US Geological Survey benchmark, JA0722 LOOGOOTEE 2, near the published coordinates. Just look for its sign marker. Thanks DutchBoy for reminding me.

Congratulations to Lair for the FTF! I see folks have gotten on to me so I guess I'm going to have to get more crafty with future caches.
