You will need a boat of some sort to complete this cache. (Canoe, kayak, motorboat). Even if you can find parking close to the cache, we recommend against attempting to swim as the river has a strong current. We also suggest you always use a life vest (PFD) when boating on the river.
The property on both sides of the river is private property. This cache is on State waterway but not accessible from land without crossing Private property. ONLY for approach from the river. DO NOT CROSS PROPERTY FROM LAND TO ATTEMPT THIS CACHE.
To determine the missing coordinates you must find out the year Kentucky Fried Chicken was founded, the year it changed its name, and solve equation 1 then find out how many people attended the 1974 Kentucky Derby and solve equation 2.
Equation 1 – Let the Year the Kentucky Fried Chicken was founded = A
Let the year the name was changed to KFC = B
Use the Last digit of they year it was founded = C
Use the last digit of the year name was changed = D
Last 3 digits of North Coordinates = B – (B-A)^C + (C+D)^C
Equation 2 – Express the six digits of the attendance number as P Q R S T U
Last 3 digits of W coordinates = (U-P)^T x (R + S + Q)
