Geocache Description:

The above coords are bogus but park close!

Nice little diAbolical cache oN muni's sOuthside. the new bikelane makes parking nearbye harder but there is near bye.


its a pretty simple park and grab.
but there is a twist: the last 3 digits of the latitude are wrong. to get the good coordinates:
1) take the year ut's lease on muni ends

2) divide that by 3

3) subtract the first 3 digits of their phone number
(no area code) from the result of #2

4) divide that by 8

5) round to the nearest whole number (no decimals/ fractions!!!!!!)

6) now subtract the year muni was originally built from the year it was opened to the public.

7) now take the number from #5 and subtract off what you got from #6

8) finally subtract off the number that makes this statement true: address number of muni/x = 290.1

9) subtract this number from the 300 part in the coords. treat 300 like a whole number not a decimal.

10) go get the cache!

watch out for mugglers from the street and golf course
p.s. look up
