Geocache Description:


One day, while at work at a local paper mill, I got a call from a customer. It seems the customer was a little confused by the paperwork they had received. We had shipped them two railcars of 24.5" 33# (24x36) bag paper. They were questioning the accuracy of our scales because one load had a weight of 101,712.95 lbs while the other one had a weight of 173,426.9 lbs. The customer wanted to know if we had really shipped 71,714.1 more in one railcar than the other or if there was an error. I assured them that the weights were correct and that the difference was due to one of the railcars being a high cubed car, which we could fit more rolls into.



Please be aware of possible muggles in the area, at certain times there can be many onlookers.
