Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published location. We’ve all seen puzzles like this, a long string of numbers with seemingly no comprehensible pattern. In order to find this cache you will need to see through the forest for the trees. 824057144112928168236394247817566972458502988001018676891574590653322217293

This one is not difficult, just unusual. Let me save you some trouble. You will not need to go on-line to solve this, nor will you need any form of scientific calculator, computer, or other electronic device. All the skills you will need should have been learned by the 1st grade. The cache will require light to moderate bushwhacking. Depending on the season and rainfall, and your approach, you may need to cross a small creek.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
