Geocache Description:

When an earthquake occurs, the epicenter is located by a process called Triangulation. Three separate seismic centers each report the distance to the epicenter. With these three distances, the epicenter can be located.

As you can guess, the cache is not at the intersection of Huron and Gratiot. To find it, you will need to locate three landmarks, then do some map work.


------------------

When I placed this cache, Suzie was parking her new car in the Meijer's parking lot. She does not want to get her doors dinged up so she parks by a lamppost in the back of the lot. The letter on the post reads "F".
Suzie is 356.95 yards from the cache.

Not far away at Autozone, Hank is parked under a similar lamppost changing out an Air Filter. The number on this post is "3".
Hank is 378.39 yards from the cache.

All the way over on Michigan, Reggie is dropping off his monthly mail at the post office. He doesn't go inside, simply leaves his mail in the mailbox by the street.
Reggie is 1,374.02 yards from the cache.
------------------------------------
Once you have your coordinates, you will find the cache in a rather obvious hiding place. The cache is a Nescafe coffee container.
