Geocache Description:

Note: The cache is not at the listed coordinates.

The cache is a 7" x 7" x 3" plastic container in wooded terrain.

This is a multi cache in Founder's Park where we spend a lot
of time playing soccer and baseball.

You need to get some numbers from Waypoint 1 to calculate the final coordinates. The final cache is in Founder's Woods, less than ½ mile from Waypoint 1. Bushwhacking is necessary and depending on how you enter a creek crossing may be involved.

Parking is available in Founder's
Park.

Waypoint 1 leads you to a map of the park. From this map you
need to get the following information.

A = Number of red letters =
B = Number of lettered fields =
C = Number of numbered fields =
D = Number of bolts in the sign =
E = The sum of the 2 numbered fields in the top right corner of the map =
F = The number of the field most in the middle of the map =

Now for the calculations. Make sure
to watch your order of operation since a 6th grader tried to make
this as evil as possible.

X = E - F

Y = [ (X * B) + A ] / B

W = [ (Square root of Y) * D + (C – B) ] / X

Z = W * Y / E

R = [ (Z to the power of F) – (X – C) ] / C

S = [ R / (C + F) ] – (D – Y – C)

T = S * D

Final Coordinates
W 38° 4X.YWZ
N 90° 48.RST

This cache combines our favorite things – sports, math, and adventures in the woods. Enjoy!
