Geocache Description:

No gold. But, a bit of luck, perhaps!


This cache is not a pot of gold, but if the "Leprechauns and the Shichi Fukujin Association of Montgomery Country" needs a patch with good luck, this spot ought to be it.

Cache is not at the posted coordinates. That's the parking lot near Lake Needwood's boat rental place. For a nice nature hike with a wonderful view of the lake and the woods, start from there and take the path(s) by the lake. Otherwise you can find a closer parking spot.

The cache is at this coord: N39 0A.BCD W077 0K.LMN

  • A = The second "Mersenne prime" number. (A Mersenne number is a positive integer that is one less than a power of two. A Mersenne prime is a Mersenne number that is also a prime number. Remember, 1 is not a prime number.)
  • B where B^B (B to the power B) = 823543
  • C = This many base units of measure are in the International System of Units. (Some lesser known units are: Kelvin for Temperature, Candela for Luminous Intensity and Mole for Amount of Substance.)
  • D = Mickey Mantle would agree that there should be this many colors at the cache since it is at the end of the ...
  • K = From earth, you can see (with the naked eye) this many objects in the solar system. This is also the number of major stars in the constellation Orion (better known ones being Rigel, Betelgeuse, Bellatrix and Mintaka).
  • L = The number in the title of this famous movie directed by the person who also directed "Ran" and "Rashomon".
  • M = What's in common between James Bond and me. (Other than the good looks, that is. {grin}) The leading "OH"s (zeros) don't count.
  • N is for Nitrogen, of course.

Hours: Park is open Sunrise to Sunset.

GeoCheck: Final coords should make you smile. If not, check your answers.

Thanks: Immane Devil Roc by Master Om Yo (M.M) for the idea.
